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.
