Liturgy-led · Culturally fluent · Unified
The operating system
for modern
parish ministry.
Design, bulletins, communication, and cultural intelligence — unified on one platform that knows the liturgical calendar, speaks your community's languages, and keeps every decision in your hands.
Shaped from inside a four-parish collaborative in the Archdiocese of Boston — designed around the weekly realities of parish communication.
The tools exist.
But none of them
understand parishes.
Parish staff are some of the most dedicated communicators in any community. They're often volunteers, working evenings and weekends — producing bulletins, managing email lists, posting to social media — on tools that were never designed with them in mind.
The liturgical calendar is the heartbeat of Catholic parish life. Every piece of communication — from the bulletin to the Sunday email to the social post — is shaped by what season it is, what readings are coming, and what the Church is celebrating. No general-purpose tool knows that.
Proclamate does.
Sound familiar?
You already know this. We're just naming it.
"My design software has no idea what liturgical season we're in."
"We translate our bulletin word-for-word and hope it resonates."
"I'm logging into a stack of tools that don't talk to each other."
Proclamate was built to replace the patchwork.
How it works
One login. One platform that knows what Sunday it is.
Design Studio
Quick Create spins up the Core Four in a click — Portrait, Square, Landscape, and Story — from a curated Catholic art library, ready for social, email, and print. Publication Mode takes over for the longer-form work: bulletins, booklets, and anything text-heavy.
Bulletin Builder
For the weekly rhythm, bulletins auto-populate with Sunday's readings, seasonal colors, and liturgical themes from the USCCB Lectionary. Approved assets flow in automatically, and the layout re-fits itself as content changes — your staff reviews and approves every word.
Email, Text Blast & Social
Reach your entire community from one place — group-targeted email, text blasts that switch to WhatsApp automatically for groups that prefer it, and social posts with drafted captions. Quick Nudges replace the sticky notes holding your team together.
Cultural Intelligence
More than translation. English and Spanish streams are fully decoupled — each with its own culturally resonant events and its own official liturgical source: the USCCB Lectionary in English, the Misal Romano in Spanish. More languages on the roadmap.
Sacred tradition ✦ modern communication
Eleven screens.
All real. All live.
This isn't slideware — every module below is built and clickable in the live demo, organized the way a parish week actually flows: Plan, Create, Reach.
The Hub
The liturgically-aware command center — content readiness for the next three Sundays, Quick Nudges instead of sticky notes, and the whole week's reach at a glance.
Liturgy Planner
Every Sunday mapped with its readings and season — from the USCCB Lectionary in English and the Misal Romano in Spanish.
Pastor's Message
Father jots his notes; the platform drafts a full message for his approval — then drafts the Spanish version alongside it.
Design Studio
Quick Create generates the Core Four in a click — Portrait, Square, Landscape, and Story. Publication Mode takes over for bulletins, booklets, and anything text-heavy.
Bulletin Builder
Approved assets flow in automatically, and the layout re-fits itself as formats change. Your staff approves every word.
Social Media Studio
Feed and Story previews with four caption styles on tap — Short & Punchy, Theological, Inviting, and X.
Email & Text Blast
Group-targeted email and texts with de-duplication — and automatic WhatsApp switching for the groups that live there.
Community & Religious Ed
Parish groups in English, Spanish, and bilingual — plus a Religious Ed hub that messages families in one click.
Impact & Giving
Encounters by channel, Mass headcounts, and giving attribution — privacy-first, with hashed identifiers only.
One Sunday. Two communities.
Two calendars.
Word-for-word translation tells one community their bulletin was written for someone else. Proclamate decouples your English and Spanish streams — the same liturgical Sunday, with the events and traditions that actually matter to each community.
& Carols
Giving Tree gifts due December 21
The English stream leads with the traditions this community actually keeps — Lessons & Carols, Penance Services, the Giving Tree.
de Guadalupe
Las Posadas 16–24 dic
Misa de Gallo en Nochebuena
The same liturgical week in the Spanish stream centers Guadalupe, Las Posadas, and Misa de Gallo — its own calendar, not a translation.
Same parish. Same Sunday. Two streams — each with its own official source: the USCCB Lectionary in English, the Misal Romano in Spanish. Cultural intelligence means each community hears the Church in its own voice, not through a translation of someone else's.
Intelligent drafts.
Pastoral control.
Proclamate uses intelligent automation to handle the repetitive parts — so your staff spends time on the pastoral parts. Nothing ships without a human on your team reviewing and approving it. Your ministry, your voice, always.
Drafts from the pastor's notes
Father jots his key themes and a scripture moment — the platform shapes them into a full message he edits and approves. Human-authored heart, machine-handled formatting.
Email subject suggestions
Suggests subject lines tuned to the liturgical Sunday — "Prepare the Way — Your Advent Guide." You pick, you edit, you send.
Social captions, drafted
Four caption styles for every post — Short & Punchy, Theological, Inviting, and X. Your communications director picks and edits before anything publishes.
Translation with a human check
Drafts the Spanish version of your pastor's message from the English. Your bilingual staff reviews before it ships — always.
Seasonal prep reminders
Quick Nudges surface what's coming — the rose candle for Gaudete Sunday, the Lenten covers to swap, Holy Week printing lead times.
Engagement insights
Surfaces patterns you'd otherwise miss — your best posting window is Thursday at 6:30pm, and social encounters are up 31%. Never prescribes. Just shows you.
Our principle: intelligent automation drafts. Your staff decides. Proclamate will never publish pastoral content without human approval, and we will never generate sacred imagery — our art library is sourced and licensed from real artists and public-domain traditions.

Built by someone who
sits in the parish office every week.
Stephanie Garnier holds an MPS in Journalism from Georgetown University, with a background in marketing, media, and TV production — including work with WGBH and PBS's American Experience.
She currently leads communications for a four-parish collaborative in East Cambridge, managing multichannel outreach for 2,000+ families across the Archdiocese of Boston. Proclamate is the platform she needed every week and couldn't find anywhere — so she built it.
"I didn't start with a business plan. I started with a Monday morning, a bulletin due Wednesday, and tools that didn't know it was Advent. Proclamate is what I wish I'd had on that Monday."
— Stephanie
"Our parish staff and volunteers give everything they have to reach the families we serve — often on evenings and weekends, across four parishes and multiple languages. Proclamate is the first tool I've seen that starts with the reality of Catholic parish life instead of trying to adapt to it. I'm looking forward to piloting it across our collaborative."
Rev. Michael Harrington
Pastor, East Cambridge Catholic Collaborative
"Proclamate is going to make staying connected with families so much easier. No more digging through registration forms, cloud folders, hardcopy files, and random desktop documents trying to match faces to names just to send the right email to the right parents. If I can spend less time on the admin mess, I can focus on what I actually love — teaching!"
Odette Jagou
Religious Education, St. Mary of the Annunciation, Cambridge, MA
"Very user-friendly and well thought through. It's clear the founder really understands what parish life looks like from the inside. Simple without being limited. There's real depth there."
Rev. Peter J. Schirripa
Catholic Chaplain, MIT Catholic Center
Common questions
If your current tools are truly working well together, you may not need Proclamate right now. But for most parish staff, "working" means logging into a patchwork of platforms every week, manually looking up the Sunday readings, and hoping the Spanish version of your bulletin resonates culturally — not just linguistically. Proclamate replaces that patchwork with one platform that handles the repetitive parts automatically, while your staff stays in full control of every pastoral decision.
Proclamate is a Parish OS — a single platform that brings together design, bulletin publishing, mass communication, and cultural translation. It's built around the Catholic liturgical calendar, so every tool on the platform knows what season it is, what readings are coming, and how to adapt content accordingly. It replaces the tool stack most parishes juggle today.
No setup required. The intelligent automation works out of the box — the liturgical calendar sync, the Core Four format generation, and the draft assistance are all built in from day one. You don't train a model, you don't upload data, you just start using the platform.
Two principles guide how we use automation: it drafts, you decide, and it never touches sacred imagery. Every bulletin draft, caption, and email suggestion is reviewed and approved by your staff before it goes anywhere. Our art library is sourced from real artists and public-domain traditions — we don't generate sacred art, ever.
They come with you. Proclamate supports CSV import from Flocknote, Mailchimp, Constant Contact, and most bulletin services. Your list, your historical engagement data, and your segments transfer over — and our team helps every pilot parish through the migration personally. Nobody gets dropped.
Seriously — a parish holds some of the most personal information a family ever shares, and we built Proclamate around that responsibility. Giving insights use hashed identifiers only: no donor names or contact details ever leave your platform. Mass attendance is counted in aggregate — a date, a Mass time, and a headcount — never individual tracking. Nothing publishes without someone on your staff approving it, and role-based access means each person sees only what their role needs.
Your data belongs to your parish. We never sell it, we never share it, and everything is encrypted in transit. If you ever leave, your list and your history leave with you.
Yes. Bulletin Builder is the fast path for the weekly rhythm, but Publication Mode in Design Studio gives you full editorial control for longer, magazine-style bulletins and booklets.
Most communication tools are built for general use and adapted for parishes as an afterthought. Proclamate is built from the ground up for Catholic parish life — the liturgical calendar is core infrastructure, not a feature. The Design Studio's Core Four means every asset ships as Portrait, Square, Landscape, and Story simultaneously. Cultural Intelligence decouples the English and Spanish streams — separate events, separate official sources (the USCCB Lectionary and the Misal Romano). And everything lives in one place.
Proclamate is live today — you can explore the platform right now at proclamate.app. A small group of pilot parishes is being onboarded ahead of the wider launch, and joining the waitlist is the best way to be considered for pilot access and receive founder-tier pricing.
Proclamate is designed for Catholic parishes of all sizes — from small community churches to large multi-campus parishes and collaboratives. It's also built to serve Catholic schools, diocesan offices, and campus ministries. If your work is shaped by the liturgical calendar and you communicate with a diverse community, Proclamate was built for you.
No. Proclamate is designed for parish staff and volunteers — not developers. If you can use email or a word processor, you can use Proclamate. And for team members who want finer control, an Advanced Mode toggle unlocks deeper customization — without turning it into Photoshop. Role-based access means your pastor, staff, ministry leaders, contributors, and viewers each see exactly what they need — nothing more to learn than necessary.
