Say it once, and reach every single home.

Some of your people live in their inbox, some only look at their phone, some want a letter in the mailbox. Write your announcement once and send it every way, always in your parish's own colors and voice, so nothing you send ever looks like it came from a machine.

Half the parish never heard the service was moved.

A snowstorm, a last-minute change, and the email only reached the third of the parish who read email. The elderly widow who relies on a phone call showed up to a locked church. Reaching everyone shouldn't take three tools and an evening. Symphonia lets you write it once and send it as email, a push, a social media post, or a printed letter, all in your parish's own voice, so word actually gets there. Texting is added once the mobile carriers approve your parish's registration.

Beautiful, and unmistakably yours.

Build a lovely email in minutes from ready-made blocks, every one wrapped in your parish's masthead. No design skills needed.

The dispatch monitor

Watch it land, household by household.

Every send has a live window: queued, in flight, delivered, and failed, counted per recipient. If something bounces, you see it and can retry, and you can cancel a broadcast before it goes if you spot a typo. No wondering whether the announcement actually went out.

It reaches the right people.

The honest answers.

Will it look like it came from our parish?

Yes. Every email is automatically wrapped in your parish's own masthead, top and bottom, in your colors and voice, so nothing you send ever looks like it came from a machine.

Is texting live yet?

Not yet. US mobile carriers require each parish to register its own texting program. The application is built into Studio: the parish fills in its details once, the rector sends it, and Symphonia submits it to the carriers. Texting is turned on for a parish once the carriers approve it, which usually takes one to two weeks. Until then, email and app notifications reach the same people.

Can we post to Facebook and Instagram?

Bluesky works today. Connect the parish account once in Settings, and any message can post there with a preview and character count, photos or a short video with descriptions, and a time to go out. Facebook, Instagram, and Threads open once Meta approves Symphonia. A volunteer can be given social media alone, to draft posts for the priest to approve.

Can we send only to certain people?

Yes. Build an audience segment from tags, canonical status, and whether people have an email or phone, so a note goes to exactly the choir, the pledgers, or the catechumens.

What about unsubscribes and the spam folder?

Handled quietly. Every broadcast carries a required unsubscribe link, and bounces and complaints are suppressed automatically, so your parish keeps a clean sending reputation.

From the ambon to every inbox.
