The Parish OS
Your whole parish, in English and Spanish.
One website your parishioners use and one back office your staff runs, bilingual on every screen. We move your current site for you, and you keep your address.
Live today at St. Mary Parish in Gilroy, California.
A parish running on Nave
St. Mary Parish, Gilroy, California.
St. Mary moved its whole website onto Nave on 29 September 2026 and kept the address its parishioners already knew. The same home page, the same morning, in each language:
- 33
- ministries on the site: 16 in English, 16 in Spanish, one in Tagalog
- 51
- addresses from the old website that still open the right page
- 1
- domain, kept: smpgilroy.org
What your parish gets
Six things a parish office does every week, in one place.
A site in English and Spanish.
Write a page once in English and it appears in Spanish too. Your staff can correct any line by hand, and a correction is never overwritten.
Entered once, right everywhere.
The schedule you keep in the office is the one on the home page, the calendar and the bulletin. The liturgical year and Holy Days are already on it.
From the first request to the certificate.
Registration, class rosters, attendance and the sacramental register for Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation and OCIA, without a binder.
Email in each person's language.
Send a letter to the whole parish, one ministry or one language group. Each person chooses how they hear from you, and they can write back. Text messages are coming in 2027.
Assembled from what you already keep.
Mass times, events, intentions and the Sunday readings flow into a print-ready bilingual bulletin. Or keep the bulletin you have and publish the PDF.
Who is cleared, who is expiring.
Volunteers upload their own certificate from a phone, the office verifies it once, and renewal reminders can send themselves.
Everything else Nave does is on the full feature list.

Switching
Moving your website is our job, not yours.
A parish office does not have a spare month to rebuild a website. So we do it, from the site you have today.
We rebuild from your current site.
Send us your web address. We bring over your Mass times, ministries, staff and pages, in both languages, and show you the result before anything changes.
You keep your address.
Your parish stays at the domain people already know, or starts on yourparish.nave.live the same day. Either way it is secured with HTTPS and there is nothing to buy.
Old links keep working.
Addresses from your old website are forwarded to the matching new page, so a link in last year's bulletin or a search result still lands in the right place.
A typical parish is live in days, not months.
Founding parishes
Ten founding parishes.
Nave is opening to its first ten parishes after St. Mary. A founding parish gets more of our time, and a say in what we build next.
- We move your current website for you, at no charge.
- $149 a month for your first year, then the standard $199. Never per seat.
- A direct line to the people who build Nave.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is our parish data private?
Yes. Each parish's data is isolated at the database level — one parish can never see another's. We never sell it or use it for ads, and you can export it anytime. Your data is yours.
Can we keep our own domain?
Yes — two ways. Every parish gets a free branded subdomain like yourparish.nave.live the day it launches, and you can connect your own domain (e.g. www.yourparish.org) whenever you're ready. Either way it's secured with HTTPS, and your content, links, and logins don't change.
What languages are supported?
Nave is multilingual by design. English and Spanish ship today — co-equal on every screen and notification — and the engine adds more as your diocese needs them (San José alone celebrates Mass in four). Not a translation bolt-on.
How long does it take to launch?
Days, not months. We rebuild your site from the one you have today, set who on your staff can open what, and you go live when you are ready.
What does it cost?
One rate per parish, never per seat. The standard rate is $199 a month. The first ten parishes pay $149 a month for their first year, and we move their website at no charge.
See it at a real parish, then ask us anything.
St. Mary's site is open to everyone. When you are ready, tell us about your parish and we will show you yours.
