Building the Future of Catholic Tech: An Interview with eCatholic CEO Jason Jaynes

He’s a tech veteran, a husband and father, a sailor—and now, the CEO of eCatholic. 

In this special episode of The Engaged Parish Podcast, we sit down with Jason Jaynes, newly appointed CEO of eCatholic to learn more about him and the mission that keeps him anchored. From his small-town Texas roots to his decades-long journey through the tech world, Jason shares how faith, family, and a deep desire to serve the Church have shaped his leadership path.

We explore Jason’s inspiring story of meeting his wife in their First Communion class, his love for sailing, and the providential way he came to join eCatholic. He reflects on how eCatholic has grown—from a small team to a dynamic, mission-driven company serving thousands of Catholic organizations across the country (and globally)—and where we’re headed next.

Jason also unpacks what it means for eCatholic to be the “engagement platform of the Catholic Church,” offering insights into the technology behind products like eCatholic Connect, Find a Mass, and our ChMS platform. With new innovations on the horizon, including expanded AI features and the Engage Virtual Summit, this episode is a heartfelt look at the mission, people, and purpose behind everything we do.

Listen now to discover how we’re just getting started—and how we’re building tools that help the Church lead people from online to in the pews.
