Your parish office, answered, day or night.
When the office is closed, the answers aren't. Parovia responds to your parishioners' calls and questions (Mass and confession times, registration, the sacraments), word for word from the information you designated, in English or Spanish, and when a caller describes an emergency it recognizes, it gives them 911 and reaches the emergency contact you designate.
St. Brendan's, Wrenmoor
Parishioner: What time is Mass on Sunday?
Assistant: Sunday Masses at St. Brendan's are at 8:00 and 10:30 a.m., and at 12:30 p.m. in Spanish.
Parishioner: ¿A qué hora son las confesiones?
Assistant: Las confesiones son los sábados de 3:30 a 4:30 p.m.
Parishioner: My father is dying and is asking for a priest.
Assistant: If someone is in immediate danger, please call 911. I'm reaching the parish's designated emergency contact for you now.
After the office closes.
Nine at night, a young couple calls about getting married next spring; the parish office has been closed for hours. The assistant answers only from what the parish has verified (no promises about a date, no guesses about fees) and offers to set a meeting with the priest. It reads his real calendar, offers two evening times next week, and holds the sooner one, saying plainly that Father still has to confirm it himself. Their names and the hold are the first thing in the secretary's morning brief, ahead of the bulletin. She confirms the meeting and calls the couple to walk through what to bring. The parish calendar feed is already built and current; a courtesy text with the confirmed time, sent only once someone says texting is fine, is still coming.
How Parovia works for a parish
Answer, handle, act: reverently.
Answer
Mass, confession, and Adoration times; how to register; what a sacrament asks, all drawn only from your verified parish information, in English and Spanish. Readings link to the authorized source; nothing is invented.
Handle
A Mass intention, a certificate request, a question for the office, captured in full and waiting, organized, for your staff on Monday morning instead of a half‑finished voicemail.
Act
Parovia prepares a registration for your staff to enter in the system you already use, ready for approval, and anything touching an offering, a record, or a child always waits for a person.
On your own phone and website.
Why parishes choose Parovia
Reached, even when no one's at the desk.
- After hours, answered. After‑hours coverage, so the 9 p.m. call about a funeral isn't a voicemail.
- Two languages. English and Spanish, in your parishioners' own words.
- The contact you designate. When a caller describes an emergency Parovia recognizes, it gives them 911 and reaches the emergency contact you designate. Never the assistant alone.
- Never pressure. An encouraging, peaceful tone. Never guilt, never pressure.
- Verified facts only. Built on your verified facts, with a clear source behind every answer.
- Routine calls, lifted. Frees your office from the same questions, all day, every day.
Trust & Safety
Built to be trusted.
Parovia never invents anything
Every answer is bound to a source you've verified; where it isn't certain, it hands off to a person.
A person handles what matters
Offerings, records, and anything involving a minor always require human approval.
Children are protected
No one is ever signed up to work with children through Parovia. An adult asking for that kind of role is handed to the people who run diocesan screening, and a child is never processed at all.
Your data stays yours
Parishioner information is handled with care, and Parovia never sells your data.
