Focusing your message to the right people is fundamental to good communication. Create as many groups as you need for every ministry, department, committee, group, and anything else you can think of.

Create as many administrators as you need to help manage your groups and messaging. Admins can access whichever groups you specify. Some may have access to only one group, while key staff members may monitor them all. You decide who has access to what groups.
So, go ahead, put your entire member list in Evangelus and send messages to everyone, everywhere! We have you covered.
The most difficult job for content creators is putting the message in front of readers. The news coming from the parish office faces the same problem. How do you put your message where people will see it?
It’s important to begin this discussion with the clear understanding that it is impossible to reach 100% of your readers. That sounds bad but it is the truth. This is the key to understand that it is vital to expand your reach to as many locations as you can. Some will recommend to focus on just one or two channels and don’t worry about the rest.
Well, as Catholics, we worry about the rest.
Prior to Evangelus, focusing on one or two channels wasn’t bad advice. It was practical advice because no communication tool existed that made wide-range publishing possible. Not to mention, the parish office doesn’t have the time, staff or resources to manage content across the web, social, email, app and text.
Simplicity is key to wide-range messaging with Evangelus. You begin with a single message. This can be a short text-based message or a beautifully designed newsletter. It’s up to you.
Once your message is complete, Evangelus processes it and automatically formats it properly for text message, email, myParish app, Facebook, Twitter, and a website news feed. If you like what you see, you hit SEND and you’re done. Your message is delivered.
If you would like to make adjustments to one or all the previews, then this is where Evangelus really shines. Simply, modify a channel as you wish and then hit SEND. It will use all modified content in place of the suggested content. Easy as that.
Lastly, to make future publishing a breeze, our template system, saves your content for every channel. Open one template and it’s ready for you to post to every location. Only with Evangelus.
Catholic parishes have been relying on Diocesan to help with communication solutions for over 65 years. There is nothing similar to working in a Catholic parish office. You have your own set of unique problems, hurdles, and constraints.
In fact, our staff brings with them invaluable career experience in both diocese and parish offices, including bookkeeping, development, stewardship, youth ministry, IT support, parish business management, bulletin editing, and all the liturgical roles you might expect from Altar Server to Choir Director to Eucharistic Minister.
This experience translates into everything we do.
The struggle to communicate effectively stems from a few, very common, core issues found in almost every parish office. These are:
We know that for your parish to be successful we have to solve those issues first. That is why Evangelus is the first and only wide-range publishing tool that is easy to use, powerful and priced for every parish budget. It helps your parish office do much more with less.
Evangelus is built from scratch specifically for the Catholic Church. You will find that the language is that of the Church. There are liturgical themes and templates ready for you to use. There are security features that disable direct communication with minors. Even our “Eva Assistant” welcomes staff in the way we greet each other at Church.
As Evangelus grows with regular updates, it will continue to reinforce the standards of the Church and bring Christ to your messaging every day.
