Product · Mass Intention Management
Manage Mass intentions centrally – and account for them correctly.
Mass intentions, Mass foundations and bequests are detailed and administratively demanding. With ChurchDesk, your parishes can keep track of things: plan, assign and account for them in one place – and the planning is automatically transferred to the calendar and order of worship.
What it does
Mass intentions, foundations and bequests – reliably in one place.
Index cards, intention books and Excel lists side by side can easily lead to things being overlooked – in a process that is precisely regulated by canon law. ChurchDesk brings the administration together in one place: reliable for the donors, relieving the burden on the parish office, unified for your diocese.
For donors and believers
Every intention, Mass foundation and every legacy is reliably recorded and celebrated on the agreed date – nothing gets lost.
For the parish office
Planning, assigning, invoicing in one place – the workload in the secretariat is noticeably reduced, and the transfer to the calendar and order of worship happens automatically.
For your diocese
A unified, KDG-compliant management of intentions across parishes – developed together with German dioceses.
Intentions and parish calendar – a coherent shared data set.
The Mass intention management is directly linked to the parish calendar: Each Mass date has its own intention area, and every assignment is automatically transferred to the calendar and order of worship – a shared data set instead of index cards and an intention book next to each other.
This means your parishes work on one system and your diocese keeps track of planning and billing.
- Calendar
- Billing
- Donors
- Payments
- Export
- Communication
Shared overview
No intention is lost any more – everyone involved sees the same status.
By planning in one place, the current status is visible to all authorised users: payment status, date and method, donor and the linked Mass at a glance. This means that planning remains reliable, even if intentions are submitted in completely different ways.
- Everything in one place: Complete overview of open, assigned and closed intentions.
- Data protection compliant: Administration and communication in accordance with church data protection (KDG).
- Reliable despite diversity: whether submitted by note, phone call or email – everything comes together in one place.
Accounting & schedules
Accounting and schedules – with just a few clicks instead of manual work.
The intentions module reduces the effort in the secretariat to a minimum: quickly confirm intentions, enter them in the calendar and add them to the service notice or the celebrant's plan with just a few clicks. You create the billing per church and month and export it if necessary.
- Minimal effort: Confirm, schedule and add to the service notice – in just a few steps.
- Billing per church and month: Create stipend records and invoices in a structured manner.
- Export included: Export as CSV, Excel or ODS and enter it into the intention book.
Fully integrated
Each Mass has its intention – directly in the parish calendar.
The planning is directly linked to the calendar: Each Mass date has a clearly assigned area of intention in which the assignment of the intentions is unmistakably determined. Changes automatically update between modules, so everything is always up to date.
- Clear assignment: Each appointment is clearly assigned its intentions.
- Automatically synchronised: Changes appear immediately in the calendar and order of worship.
- Embedded in the administration: No more separate intention book next to the system.
Developed together
Developed together with German dioceses.
Intentions, mass foundations and legacies follow canon law rules that no standard tool knows. That's why the intentions module was created together with German dioceses – tailored to the practice of Catholic parishes.
What is really needed in the secretariats did not come about on the drawing board, but in collaboration with the people who work with intentions every day. The result corresponds to the law on ecclesiastical data protection of the Catholic Church in Germany (KDG).
A tool that comes from the practice of Catholic parishes – not from a generic standard.
Become a development partner.
As a diocese, you actively shape Mass intention management – just as the module was created from the outset together with German dioceses.
