Integrations

Good connections begin with the systems you actually use.

ParishRelay uses reusable connectors to bring existing sources into one clear parish app. However, every connection is considered in the context of the parish’s actual setup, because one dependable integration is worth far more than a long list of products that are only nominally supported.

The connection layer

Keep the information where it naturally belongs.

Connectors translate supported sources into one consistent parishioner experience, while staff continue maintaining the original information in the place where it naturally belongs.

Website Your existing website remains the public home your parish already knows how to maintain.
Calendar A supported Google Calendar, iCal feed, or website calendar keeps events current.
Giving Keep the giving provider you trust while guiding parishioners to the right destination.
Bulletins The PDFs your parish already publishes become much easier to find on a phone.
News Current announcements come forward naturally, without creating a second copy to maintain.

Current and representative sources

The right integration starts with an honest inventory.

These categories represent current integration work and the connection patterns ParishRelay supports. Because installations and vendor configurations vary, each parish setup still needs to be assessed on its own merits.

01Current integration work

WordPress

Structured parish information, posts, and compatible event data can come forward from an existing site.

02Supported source

Google Calendar

A public parish calendar can supply upcoming events, so there is no second calendar to manage.

03Supported source

iCal / ICS

Because they follow a common standard, iCal feeds offer a practical bridge from many calendar systems.

04Source-dependent

News and announcements

Existing website content can be gathered and presented in a clear, mobile-friendly form.

05Source-dependent

Bulletins

Publication pages and PDF bulletins can remain exactly where they are hosted today.

06Link integration

Giving destinations

ParishRelay guides people to the giving service your parish selected; it never tries to replace it.

Connector principles

A worthwhile connection makes parish work lighter.

One source of truth

Staff update the system responsible for the information once; ParishRelay should never require a shadow copy.

Reliable access

Whenever possible, we rely on documented APIs, standards-based feeds, and source interfaces that can be maintained responsibly.

Respectful use

Third-party and jurisdictional content belongs in the app only when it is properly licensed or otherwise permitted.

Plain limitations

If a system cannot offer a dependable connection, we explain the limitation plainly and explore practical alternatives.
