Everything a parish is, in one place.
Not a directory with add-ons bolted on, but one operating system for the whole of parish life — the people, the liturgical year, the money, and the everyday. Here is all of it. Tap any area to go deep, or browse them one at a time below.
Everyone you serve, finally in one place.
Your people are the parish, and this is where they live. The family that just moved to town, the catechumen you're walking to the font, the faithful you commemorate by name. All of them on one roster you can trust, so every other part of your week gets easier.
Members, catechumens, inquirers, visitors, clergy, children, and the departed all live together in one place, so you never wonder where to look.
Civil name, patron saint, name-day, the language they pray in, and a private note only you can read. Everything worth remembering about a soul, kept in one calm place.
One address, one directory listing, one giving statement for the family, or separate ones if they prefer. A quiet health signal even tells you which families may be drifting.
See your parish as living family trees. Verify a sacrament and the godparent and sponsor bonds weave themselves in, so the whole web of who belongs to whom is simply there.
Ask how two people are related and get a clear canonical reading before a wedding. No other church system will do this for you.
Take a headcount or a full roll for any service and watch the trends over time, so you notice who you haven't seen in a while before they slip away.
Your parish's canonical book of every baptism, chrismation, marriage, unction, and ordination, sealed to clergy and safe forever. A draft certificate prints for the family in a moment.
A warm parish directory your members opt into, plus a clergy-only copy with everything. Every download is logged, and privacy is always the default.
Bring your whole parish across from Breeze, ACS, ParishSoft, Planning Center, Realm, or a plain spreadsheet. Columns map themselves and Family IDs rebuild your households for you.
Many members, and one Body.
A parish is a communion, not an office. Symphonia weaves the ties that hold it together, the ministries people give themselves to, the serving that becomes friendship, the directory that lets a newcomer belong, and the watchfulness that misses no one, so the whole parish stays in tune from one Sunday to the next.
Choir, council, church school, greeters, coffee hour, each with its members, its coordinator, and its own place to organize.
Open a ministry for sign-ups and your people join from Synaxis in their pocket, no clipboard taped by the door.
The rota fills itself across the people who serve, respecting who is away and who served last week, so saying yes never means being stuck.
Real-time chat and threads per ministry and team, so choir business and council business each have a home, not a group text.
Each person's nameday surfaces on the day from the saint calendar, so the community marks the feasts of its own members.
A visitor becomes an inquirer becomes a member on one record, so the welcome is followed through instead of forgotten after the first handshake.
A quiet health signal surfaces the households slowly falling out of touch, while there is still time to call, so care reaches people before they are gone.
Events with RSVP, from the patronal feast to a work day, built from the same directory, so the invitation reaches everyone and you know who is coming.
The parish remembers, so no family has to ask.
So much of your ministry is quiet and easy to lose. The fortieth day. The home still waiting to be blessed. The confession you promised to hear. Symphonia holds the whole rhythm for you and gently surfaces who needs you next, so you can reach out before anyone has to ask.
Schedule confession requests and quietly log the ones you've heard. The whole queue is sealed to you alone and encrypted, so what is said in confession stays there.
Log one date of repose and Symphonia lays the whole parastas cycle onto your calendar. The third day, the ninth, the fortieth, the year, and every anniversary after, with kollyva counts if you want them.
A gentle ninety-day look ahead at churchings, name-days, and memorials, built from records you already keep. You offer first, and it never nudges twice in a day.
Families sign up and Symphonia maps the route. It groups homes by neighborhood, orders the drive to fit your free hours, and hands back an arrival time for every stop.
A file for each couple from the first conversation to the crowning. Milestones, the banns, an impediment check drawn from your relationships graph, and every counseling session in one place.
A permanent, confidential record for the deeply sensitive things a future priest must know. Sealed to the rector alone. Not staff, not an interim, not even Ancient Designs can ever read it.
Every upcoming Liturgy shows who is bringing the bread and the names submitted, living and departed side by side, ready for the proskomedia.
Write down every home, hospital, or phone visit as the parish's memory, with follow-up reminders and a due-soon rail, so no one is quietly forgotten.
A quiet corner of the software that's just yours.
Between the meetings and the sacraments, you carry a great deal alone. This is the one page you open to see the shape of the day, keep your own rule of prayer, and hold the private records nobody else needs to see.
The one screen that greets you each morning with the feast, the tone, the fast, the day's services, your prayer streak, and what you're reading.
Set a personal rule, tap it off each day, and watch the streak build. The last thirty days are always there to look back on.
Last and next confession, a one-tap 'confessed today', and encrypted notes only you can see, so your own confessor is never far.
A living shelf of what you're reading, queued, or finished, with page progress, a rating, and room for your notes.
A searchable place for reflections and homily seeds, with tags, pinning, and follow-up flags for the thoughts you don't want to lose.
Keep years of homilies, each tied to its Gospel and season, so last year's words are a search away when the reading comes around again.
Track each vestment by kind, color, season, and condition, and keep your tailoring measurements in one place.
Log honorariums and ministry trips through the year with running totals, so tax time is a little quieter.
Walk every newcomer from the door to the font.
Nobody should fall through the cracks between 'hello' and 'received into the Church.' Symphonia keeps the whole journey on one unbroken record, with a ready-made curriculum and a companion the catechumen can follow themselves, so you always know exactly where each person is.
Follow newcomers from their very first Sunday along a gentle pipeline: new, returning, ready, enrolled. When they're ready, enroll them in a click.
Every inquirer is a card moving through the stages toward illumination, with milestones and a target date, so no one stalls unnoticed.
Start with a complete catechism on day one: around fifty-six sessions, lecture series, required reading, and forms, all seeded and ready. Or write your own.
'Mark received' files the sacrament, records the godparent bond, and creates the member record all at once. One click closes the whole loop.
The catechumen carries their own companion for the journey: their stage, next class, assigned reading, and sponsor, right in their pocket.
Rewrite any lesson or build a parish curriculum from scratch. Renaming a session never breaks anyone's progress.
Set up classes with teachers, enroll the children, and let parents see their child's class from the app.
Every order of the altar, current without the worry.
Priests, deacons, readers, and servers, all on one roster grouped by rank. You can see youth-safety clearances and education hours at a glance, and when you need cover for a Sunday, a booking board finds you supply clergy.
Every clergyman and server in your care, sorted by holy and minor orders, so the whole altar is visible on one page.
See every background check and safe-environment training with its expiry, so nothing important quietly lapses.
Track required education hours across your clergy, ready the moment the diocese asks.
Need cover for a Sunday? Post it and book visiting clergy, with the dates and details kept in one place.
Keep honorariums for visiting clergy on the record and posting straight to the books.
The most sensitive clergy details stay sealed to the rector alone.
It simply knows the day. Nothing else does this.
Pick any date and Symphonia works out the whole shape of the liturgical day from first principles, read through your jurisdiction, your calendar, and your language. Switch jurisdictions below and watch the day itself change.
Not a lookup table. Pick a date and Symphonia works out the service, the tone, the readings, the fast, the vestment color, and which Liturgy is served.
Antiochian, Greek, OCA, ROCOR, Serbian, or Romanian. New calendar or old. It even knows to say 'Orthros' or 'Matins' the way your people do.
Transpose or elevate a feast, add a local commemoration, swap a reading or a hymn, or pin the fast. Your parish's own practice always wins.
Never a cryptic rubric. The day's fasting rule reads in plain English: 'wine and oil', 'fish allowed', 'strict fast'.
Lay the Nativity fast or the whole of Great Lent onto your calendar in a single pass, then print a clean plan for the servers and the choir.
Antimensia, holy chrism batches, the diptychs, and bishop visitations. The four canonical artifacts, kept safe and traceable.
A calendar that fills its own serving roster.
Every service already knows its fast, tone, and feast before you type a thing. Publish it to your people, let them subscribe on any phone, and let Symphonia build a fair serving rota for you, so you're not texting the same three readers every Saturday night.
Month and list views with every day pre-marked with the fast, tone, and feast. Add services with templates and recurrence in seconds.
Symphonia auto-fills each Sunday's readers, servers, and coffee hour fairly, respecting who is away and who served last week. No more begging.
Can't serve this week? Your people request a swap and cover each other, and you simply see the result.
Volunteers mark the weeks they're away, so the roster never assigns someone who isn't there.
One clean printable for the narthex table with everyone serving this week.
Symphonia keeps the parish's time zone and shows each person their own, side by side, so a 9:00 AM service is never missed across state lines.
A private feed drops every service into Google, Apple, or Outlook, kept in sync so nobody copies dates by hand.
Giving that quietly takes care of itself.
Your people give the way they want, online or in the plate, and every gift lands in one honest ledger. It knows the giver, moves their pledge along, feeds their year-end statement, and posts to the books on its own. You never touch a card number, and the plate and the books always agree.
Members give by card to the fund they choose, and the parish never handles a card number. Every gift is receipted the instant it's made.
See every automatic gift in one place, active, ending, or card-failed, and let your people start, pause, or change theirs themselves.
Annual and multi-year commitments where real gifts fill a live thermometer, public or private, so everyone can watch the goal get closer.
Track each designation with its restriction level and running balance, and Symphonia flags any gift that landed without a home.
Post real needs, altar candles, a new roof, a catechumen's books, and let members claim and fulfill them one at a time.
Council members can see donors and engagement while every dollar figure stays hidden. Only who you allow ever sees the numbers.
Polished contribution statements on your own letterhead for the whole parish at once, combined or separate per household, as a single tidy download.
Lapsed families, top households, new givers, pledge fulfillment, and fund mix. The lapsed-families report is really pastoral care in disguise.
Symphonia keeps online giving and the ledger tied out, and tells you the moment something doesn't match.
Books your treasurer can hand an auditor.
This is a real double-entry ledger built for a parish, not a donation tracker. Every gift and expense posts as a balanced entry, your fund balances stay honest, and your nonprofit statements tie out on their own. It's the whole back office, from the first bill to the year-end close.
Every gift and expense posts as a balanced journal entry, so your books provably balance to the penny.
Start with a standard nonprofit chart in one click, then rename, add, or reclass with a clean parent-and-child structure.
A balance sheet, statement of activities, trial balance, and fund balances, all filterable by period and ready for the board.
Track money as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted, with the reason kept right there on the record.
Track what you owe and what's owed to you, keep vendors with contract-renewal reminders, and email invoices that post themselves.
Match every bank line to a ledger line. It won't finalize while a penny is off, and it names the exact gap.
Link your accounts and pull transactions automatically, with CSV import always there as a fallback.
Two-way QuickBooks sync, a 1099-NEC worksheet and e-file, and payroll that posts labor cost to the ledger, each behind its own key.
Set a budget, watch budget against actual, and close each period with a board-ready pack.
A candle desk that carries names to the altar.
A fast, touch-friendly till for candles, prosphora, and books. One tap takes the payment, prints the receipt, and posts it to the books. And when someone buys a prosphora, the names they wrote flow straight onto the proskomedia list for the next Liturgy.
Tap items into an order and take card, cash, or check in seconds, then print or email the receipt. Built for a volunteer on a busy Sunday.
Sell a prosphora and the submitted names land on the priest's proskomedia list for the next Liturgy, living and departed.
Let a buyer round up their change as a voluntary offering, booked correctly as a gift rather than sales income.
Orders and refunds, online or in person, post the matching journal entry automatically and without ever double-counting.
See what's on hand, get a nudge when candles run low, and watch every adjustment post to the ledger.
Sell tickets to the festival or the retreat with tiers and capacity, and let people register right from your website.
Open a simple online shop for icons, books, and coffee-hour goods, with card checkout that lands in the same books.
Sales analytics gated to the rector, so the numbers stay with the right people.
Say it once, and reach every single home.
Write your announcement one time and let it find everyone. Some of your people live in their inbox, some only read a text, some want a letter in the mailbox. Symphonia sends it every way at once, always in your parish's own colors and voice, so nothing you send ever looks like it came from a machine.
Build a lovely email in minutes from ready-made blocks and templates, every one dressed in your parish's masthead. No design skills needed.
Turn any parish link into a printable, scannable square drawn as a deep-ink mosaic with gold crosses. Beautiful enough to frame.
Short texts for a cancelled service or a reminder, with full consent and STOP handling quietly built in.
A quiet lock-screen notification that reaches opted-in people even when the app is closed.
Pin a notice to the app and studio with a publish and expiry date, so it appears and retires all on its own.
One personalized letter per household, stacked into a single print-ready PDF that lines up neatly with a window envelope.
Real-time channels, DMs, and threads for your team and ministries, so parish business stops living in group texts.
Required unsubscribe links and quiet bounce handling keep your parish out of the spam folder, automatically.
Watch email and text go out in real time, queued, sent, and failed, with a retry and a cancel-before-send.
The little kindnesses you'd forget, remembered.
You mean to send every name-day greeting and every thank-you for a first gift. Life gets in the way. Symphonia does these small, faithful things on its own, so your people feel remembered and you never have to keep the list in your head.
A warm note goes out the morning of every name-day and birthday, signed by the parish, without you lifting a finger.
A first gift or a new pledge earns a heartfelt thank-you within the hour, every single time.
A safe-environment clearance about to lapse, an insurance renewal coming due. Symphonia flags them well ahead of time.
Welcome emails, statement reminders, drifting-family nudges. Turn on the ones you want from a simple catalog.
Prefer something specific? Compose your own 'when this happens, do that' without writing a single line of code.
Send events onward to Slack, a CRM, or your accountant with a webhook, so Symphonia fits the tools you already use.
A parish website you can actually edit yourself.
Your public site lives right inside Symphonia, so it is never out of date. Click any text to change it, pick from professionally designed Orthodox themes, and let your service times, clergy, and events fill themselves in from the records you already keep. No web designer, no separate login.
See your live site and change it in place. What you click is what you edit, so updating a service time takes a moment, not a support ticket.
Start from a dozen finished themes designed for parishes, then make it your own with your colors and photos.
Your schedule, clergy, and events pull straight from your parish records, so the site is right the moment you update anything.
Every page carries clean titles and social previews, so newcomers find you and your links look sharp when shared.
Save named versions and schedule a page to go live for Pascha, or gate it to a season.
Your own colors, photos, and considered font pairings, so your site feels like your parish and never like a template.
One warm front door for 'how can we help?'
When someone wants a baptism, a memorial, or simply to talk to the priest, they shouldn't have to guess an email address. A guided request on your site asks the right questions and drops the answer straight in front of clergy, so nothing important lands in a shared inbox nobody checks.
Simple, kind forms for baptism, chrismation, marriage, and funerals that ask the right questions and route straight to clergy.

Your parish's own prayer book, always in reach.
Give your people the prayers and the sources of the faith without sending them off to a dozen websites. A full online prayer book and a parish-branded Orthodox library live right in Symphonia, beautifully readable and searchable, so the Church's own words are always a tap away.
Daily prayers, the three Liturgies, the Great Feasts, the Holy Mysteries, prayers for the departed, and the eight tones, gathered in one place.
The prayers before and after Communion, gathered and ready, so your people come prepared.

It is not a link to somewhere else. The prayer book and library carry your parish's own identity.
The whole parish, at home in their pockets.
Symphonia gives every member their own private parish home they can install like any app. Today's feast, their rule of prayer, their pledge, the sign-up sheet, the meal train for a new mother. What you set as the priest, they carry with them all week, and the two of you finally move in step.
Each morning opens with the day's feast, their prayer rule, their pledge, and their children's classes. A parish home that greets them by name.

The numbers that quietly become pastoral care.
Symphonia already holds the truth of your parish. This is where it becomes something you can act on. Attendance trends, the stewardship picture, the diocesan census, and gently, the families who have quietly stopped giving, so a number on a screen turns into a phone call that matters.
See how Sundays and weekdays are trending, and who you're seeing less of, without keeping a single tally by hand.

Your records, sealed inside your own walls.
