Parish communication that reaches everyone — in their language
A parish that can't reach its people can't lead them. But most parish communication is a single English email blast that half the parish never opens and the other half can't read — and when something's truly urgent, there's no fast, reliable way to reach everyone.
Meet people where they are: email and text
Some people live in their inbox; many more read a text within minutes. Reaching both — with texting strictly opt-in, as the law requires — covers far more of your parish than email alone ever will.
In each person's language
A reminder or announcement should arrive in the language each member chose. Rendering every message in the recipient's own language means your Spanish- and Tagalog-speaking families are never the last to know.
Respect the opt-out
Trust is fragile. A real preference center — so people choose what they hear about and on which channel, with a one-click unsubscribe — keeps you out of the spam folder and keeps people subscribed to what matters.
When it's urgent, reach everyone now
A boil-water notice or a funeral change can't wait in a queue. Emergency alerts should go out across email and text immediately, in everyone's language, through a gated workflow so nothing critical is sent — or missed — by accident.
- Email and SMS, with texting opt-in by default.
- Every message rendered in the recipient's chosen language.
- A self-service preference center and one-click unsubscribe.
- Emergency alerts that bypass normal limits to reach everyone now.
- A delivery log, so you know what actually went out.
Nave runs all of it through one preference-aware, multilingual pipeline — email and SMS, day-before reminders, segment messages, and emergency alerts — so the right people get the right message, in their language, every time.
