June 2026

  1. Show Mass intentions on the public calendar

    Turn on a publishing setting to display the published intention on each past Mass in your public calendar.

    See what a follow-up email looks like before you send it.

  4. Custom social share images

    Upload a social share image and pull from a shared photo library so your Mass request page looks polished anywhere it gets posted.

    Requesters preview a personalized card front and back as they go, choose from a growing set of designs, and pick the recipient's language.

  6. More flexible request forms

    Collect a parish on each request, let requesters pick a location for their preferred date, and record an intention that comes with no offering.
