eCatholic Year in Review 2024

eCatholic Year in Review 2024:
Engaging and transforming

In 2025, eCatholic will celebrate 20 years of walking on water — like Peter, not Jesus. As I reflect on what we accomplished in 2024, I’m in awe of all that God has done with our five loaves and two fish over this past year, as well as over the past 20 years! 

At eCatholic, we are SO thankful for the opportunity to serve you and help the Church fulfill her mission of evangelization. Below are a few of the biggest milestones from 2024…

Let's begin with our bigger eCatholic product unveilings of the year!

1

The Engagement Platform of the Catholic Church

We launched a new, better way to use our digital tools: as the only integrated suite designed to empower Catholic organizations. Decision-making for your team has never been easier with bundled products that save you time and money.

2

Messaging and Group Management tools to help you evangelize and engage

We are always listening to you, happy to hear feedback and new ideas, and watching the horizon for the Church’s next technological needs. This leads to updates and enhancements and the unveiling of our latest product to join the suite of integrated tools: eCatholic Connect!

Connect is a powerful group messaging tool for engaging your members, building your groups, and inspiring and growing your community. It is integrated with your eCatholic website, streamlining the sign-up process. 

Create beautiful messages, easily manage your groups, send SMS texts and branded emails, and keep your community engaged and informed. Together, we’re transforming church communications!

Inspired updates for eCatholic products

Continuing to expand and upgrade all our products is a core part of our daily work. We strive to go above and beyond to create inspiring tools that advance and grow with your organization and the Church. Significant updates have been released on all eCatholic products, and we will continue improving.

Our popular drag-and-drop website builder

We believe your website is a foundational part of your digital presence and the backbone of your communications. This is why we made significant strides in integrating our tools - with each other and with other platforms - to help you engage members. Here are two new ways to incorporate popular social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram:

• You can set up a simple integration to push News items directly to your church, school or ministry's Facebook page once they are published on your website.
• Embedding an Instagram post on your website using eCatholic's Instagram module is incredibly easy.

The powerful, simplified video streaming software

We also upgraded the streaming service behind eCatholic LIVE, so you have a more powerful, robust, yet simplified video streaming tool. Evangelize beyond your front doors! Discover how live streaming can elevate your ministry with our webinar, “Transform Your Ministry with eCatholic LIVE."

Building new tools and unveiling new services

Our intentional approach to serving the Church through organizations like yours has helped us develop the phenomenal support and services you have come to expect from eCatholic. Improving your day-to-day operations has led to these great additions!

Getting the faithful back to the sacraments

Passion for who we serve was the foundation of the partnership with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, which led to the launch of a nationwide parish finder. Together, we unveiled FindAMass.org at the 2024 National Eucharistic Congress in July.

This innovative website is designed to help Catholics easily find Mass, Adoration, and Confession times at nearby parishes and when traveling. What sets FindAMass.org apart is its ability to aggregate customer data to display the most up-to-date and accurate sacrament times and Catholic Church locations in the United States. This feature ensures that users can access reliable information, making it easier than ever to participate in the sacraments.

If your parish is not on FindAMass.org or if the information needs to be updated, contact us right away!

New resources: free on-demand training webinars

Our team is focused on your team, so along with integrated tools come services that support you each step of the way. The connected platform is designed for mission, and yours is individually supported by our onboarding specialists, the enhanced and expanded on-demand training videos and help articles, and our award-winning support team. Best of all, these are all free resources built just for you!

We focus our product development on keeping our software simple while offering robust features. So whether you're just starting with the engagement platform or a seasoned client, our Help articles, Beginner’s Guides, and new videos will help you level up and quickly become a super user!

Fresh conversations for empowering your Catholic community

Another major 2024 milestone for eCatholic is launching The Engaged Parish Podcast. We’ve been providing amazing technology and phenomenal service for nearly two decades, and it was time we started to share what we’ve learned about our Church in the digital space.

Tune into The Engaged Parish Podcast to discover the latest trends, inspiring stories, and powerful tools for enriching your parish community and growing your personal faith journey. Many followers have found fruit in our podcast since its first episode — and counting! Tune in throughout 2025, as many upcoming dynamic guests are already scheduled.

A global company serving the global Church

From our humble beginnings in 2005 to today, eCatholic has become something truly special. We’re a fully remote team, connecting hearts and talents across every North American time zone and all the way to Poland. Our team is a beautiful reflection of the Church’s diversity, with members spanning coast to coast across the continental United States, Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada), and cities like Krakow, Warsaw, and Wroclaw in Poland.


And we don’t take this for granted. We’re grateful for the work we get to do, the people we get to serve, and the prayers of Pope St. John Paul II, the patron of Poland and a guiding light for all of us here at eCatholic.

Toward the top!

Our mission is to empower the Church to fulfill her mission by providing amazing technology and phenomenal service. Over nearly two decades, this has provided a light on our path toward building one integrated platform to help you inspire, build, and grow our faith community.

THANK YOU for all that you do to serve the Church! Thank you for allowing eCatholic to serve you over this past year. Most of all, thanks be to God for the gift of 2024, and may He be glorified by all of us in 2025. Verso l’alto!
