Welcome to Parishpress, your digital partner in enhancing parish communication and outreach within the Raphoe Diocese and beyond. Founded by Raphoe Pastoral Centre, Parishpress is dedicated to providing affordable and accessible digital solutions tailored to the unique needs of local Catholic parishes.

At Parishpress, we understand the importance of effective communication in fostering vibrant parish communities. With this vision in mind, we offer comprehensive services designed to empower parishes in their mission of evangelisation and pastoral care.

Our services include:

Our user-friendly designs ensure easy navigation for parishioners seeking information and engagement opportunities.

The integration of Google Calendars streamlines the management of updates, ensuring accuracy and accessibility.
  • Efficient Content Management: ParishPress simplifies content management with features such as quick upload of weekly newsletters using Google Drive. This enables parish staff to keep parishioners informed about the latest news and announcements with minimal effort.
  • Free Graphic Design Services: We offer free graphic design services to ensure that each Parish website reflects the unique identity and branding of the parish community. Our team collaborates closely with parishes to create visually engaging and cohesive online presences.
