A simple WhatsApp solution for parishes. Let parishioners reach out without the anxiety of calling.
Get Started — €38/monthWhy many parishioners never reach out
Parishioners have questions about Mass times, Baptism, Confession, and speaking with a priest.
But many never ask. They feel too shy to call. Young people especially avoid phone calls.
They drift away quietly — not because they lost faith, but because they couldn't take that first step.
Everything you need to connect with parishioners
Mass times, confession schedule, office hours. Parishioners get responses 24/7.
Baptism, Confirmation, Marriage, RCIA. Clear information and next steps.
When someone needs to talk, they can request an appointment without calling.
Less repetitive questions. More time for what matters most.
Simple setup, powerful results
Your parish gets a dedicated WhatsApp number.
Share your Mass times, events, and parish info.
Parishioners text and get instant responses.
Complex questions come to you. The rest is handled.
No setup fees. Cancel anytime.
Everything included
Built for parishes, by someone who understands them
This project was born from years of volunteering in parishes and seeing a recurring problem: people wanting to connect but feeling too anxious to call.
Young mothers wanting to baptize their children. Teenagers with questions about Confirmation. Fallen-away Catholics wanting to return. All held back by the simple barrier of a phone call.
Hefajst Parish Connect removes that barrier. It's not about replacing human connection — it's about making the first step possible.
WhatsApp is familiar. It's easy. It's how people already communicate. We simply bring that to your parish.
No. They just message your WhatsApp number like any other contact.
Mass times, confession schedule, office hours, events, sacrament preparation, and more. We customize it for your parish.
Those are forwarded to you. You stay in control.
Usually 1-2 days. We handle the technical work.
Yes. Industry-standard encryption. Your data is never shared or sold.
