Antiphona

Parish software for Catholic parishes

One app for the whole parish.

Antiphona gives families, staff and volunteers one place to register, pay, sign up and stay in touch. It runs in a web browser, in English and Spanish, and it changes to fit how your parish works.

The Home screen on a phone, with the welcome message, a Faith Formation balance with a Pay now button, the pickup code, the children and a bottom menu.

Made for the three groups who keep a parish running.

Each group sees the screens that fit its work, and nothing else.

Families

Register a child, pay a fee, sign up to serve, and see what the parish needs from you. It is all on one home screen.

Parish staff

Each ministry has its own admin tools. Staff see only the records that their role allows.

Leaders and volunteers

Ministry leaders message their members. Volunteers sign up for shifts, check in, and swap with a friend.

Made to fit

Every parish is different. Antiphona changes with you.

Our modules start from how Catholic parishes work. They follow the sacraments, the liturgical year and safe environment practice. But no two parishes run alike. You do not change to fit Antiphona. Antiphona changes to fit you.

Your forms, your rules

Build forms with conditions, limits, fees and waivers, in English and Spanish. Change them the day your process changes.

Your roles and approvals

Choose who can fill out, approve and run each part. Each admin role opens only its own tools.

Your way to run a ministry

Run volunteers by sign-up or by assignment. Set the requirements people meet first. Offer payment plans and discount codes.

Your own modules

When a process is yours alone, we build it on the same foundation, with the same sign-in, roles, payments and languages.

Steady underneath

Family records, sign-ins and payments stay in one place as you add modules and change settings.

Grows with the year

Change a form in Lent. Add a module before Advent. The defaults are a starting point, not a cage.

See how custom modules work

Modules for the work of a parish.

A parish turns on the modules it needs. Every module has screens for families and tools for staff.

Faith and formation

Programs that form children, youth and adults in the faith.

Community and service

Ministries, volunteers, events and care for one another.

Connect and support

Messages, forms, help requests and a way in for guests.

Money

Gifts, fees and payments, recorded in one place.

The foundation

Accounts, families and the shared base that every module builds on.

Explore every module

The foundation

One foundation. Every module shares it.

Each module plugs into the same base. A parish adds a module, and it works with the people, sign-in, payments and languages that are already there. Custom modules join the same ecosystem.

One family record

Every module reads the same account and household. A family never enters its details twice.

One sign-in, fitted roles

People sign in once. Each admin role opens only its own tools, in every module.

One payment record

A fee in any module uses the same checkout and the same ledger. Staff see what a family owes in one place.

One voice to families

Every module sends through the same messages. Consent choices and the delivery log apply everywhere.

English and Spanish

Every module follows the language that a family chooses.

A shared module ecosystem

A new module inherits all of this on day one. Built-in, partner and custom modules share one base and one set of rules.

Faith Formation

From registration to First Communion.

Families register each child and pay online. Staff place children in classes, take attendance and follow each child's sacrament preparation.

  • Families register and pay in one visit, in full or on a payment plan.
  • Volunteers check children in and out at a class kiosk with a family pickup code.
  • Staff follow sacrament preparation and review the certificates that families send in.

See Faith Formation

Parents see their children, attendance, sacrament preparation and payments in one place.

Forms

Build a form. Send the answers where they belong.

Staff build forms in English and Spanish, with rules, waivers and fees. Each answer can flow on to the tools the office already uses.

  • Show a field only after a chosen answer, and limit places on any choice.
  • Collect fees and waivers in the same form. Approvals happen before a form goes live.
  • Send each answer to an Excel workbook, a SharePoint list or a signed web event. A failed send tries again.
  • Or save it as a row in a Dataverse table, the parish database, with each column matched to a question.

See Forms

The form builder with a field palette on the left, the retreat registration fields in the middle, and the settings of the selected room field, with a limit on each room type, on the right.
Staff build a form from a palette of fields, in English and Spanish, with no code.

Conferences

Retreats and trips, from sign-up to check-in.

A conference has its own roles, prices, waivers and waitlist. Families register, pay a deposit, then pay the balance on a plan.

  • The waitlist moves up by itself when a family cancels.
  • Chaperones confirm the Safe Environment policy. Staff approve each one.
  • Staff plan cabins and groups, and check people in at the door.

See Conferences

The Parish Retreat Weekend page with its place, date and cost, and a registration form with a T-shirt size, a room choice, a waiver and a signature.
Read the details, answer the questions and sign the waiver in one step.

Volunteer

Fill every shift, and the Masses too.

Ministries run in sign-up mode or in assigned mode. Volunteers pick, swap and check in from a phone.

  • Set requirements, such as safe environment training, before a person can sign up.
  • A volunteer can ask someone to cover a shift, and that person answers by text.
  • Leaders build the Mass schedule on a grid. Nothing goes out until they publish.

See Volunteer

Nine volunteer opportunity cards, such as Pantry Saturday, Sunday Greeters and Food Drive, each showing its ministry, place, date and who may sign up.
Parishioners browse every way to serve and see who can sign up.

Payments

Every payment in one place.

Cards, cash and checks all land in one record. Staff see what each family owes and what the parish received.

  • Send a payment link or an invoice. Families pay online by card.
  • Set up payment plans and discount codes.
  • Match card sales to Stripe, and export reports to a spreadsheet.

See Payments

The staff Payments console on the Invoices tab: three summary figures and a list of open invoices with status, balance and due date.
Staff create invoices and payment links, then see who has paid and who has not.

Ticket sales

Sell the gala. Send a receipt that is right.

Sell tickets to a dinner, a gala or a fish fry. Guests do not need an account, and the door team checks them in with a QR code.

  • Every receipt shows the fair market value and the deductible amount.
  • A sponsor buys a table, then names the guests through a private link.
  • Volunteers check guests in on a tablet. Staff can also sell at the door.

See Ticket sales

The checkout page for the Spring Gala. A parent chooses two dinner seats and types the name of each guest. The price and the deductible gift show below.
A buyer picks the tickets, names each guest and sees the total before paying.

Communications

Reach the right people, the right way.

Write one message. Choose who gets it. Send it by email or by text.

  • Choose who gets it, from the whole parish to one program.
  • Families choose what they receive. Unsubscribe and STOP requests are honored.
  • Every message goes in a delivery log, so staff can see what happened.

See Communications

Compose screen with email and text channels, audience choices, a recipient count and a message editor.
Write one message, pick who gets it, and see the recipient count before you send.

Bilingual

English and Spanish, side by side.

Families choose English or Spanish. The screens, the forms and the messages the parish sends follow that choice.

The Home screen in Spanish, with the greeting Bienvenido, Daniel, a Faith Formation balance with a Pagar ahora button, the children and the first app shortcuts.
Families switch between English and Spanish with one tap, and the app remembers the choice.

Built with a parish

Made with one of the largest parishes in the country.

Antiphona grew out of daily work in a very large Catholic parish. Its staff, catechists and volunteers used each module and shaped it. Your parish gets software that has met a real crowd.

About us

Careful with parish information.

A parish keeps records about children, sacraments and gifts. Antiphona treats them that way.

Safe sign-in

Families sign in with a password or a passkey. Staff accounts use multi-factor sign-in.

Roles that fit the work

Each admin role opens only its own tools. The app records who changed a record, and when.

Children's records

A parent or guardian creates a child's record, and can see it and correct it.

No ads. No trackers.

The app shows no ads. It runs no third-party analytics service and no third-party tracker. Parish data is never sold.

Read the privacy policy

Works with the tools you already use.

Antiphona connects to services that parishes already trust.
