Easy to use
As you’ve come to expect from eCatholic’s products, Connect is remarkably easy to use. Whether it’s the initial setup or ongoing group management and communication, Connect is built by Catholics, for Catholics. Anyone can do it!
Focus on data privacy, security and user control
From CAN-SPAM, to GDPR, to CCPA and more, there are a lot of laws and regulations governing communication and member data management.
Connect has been built so that you don’t have to worry about the laws; Our tools and workflows are designed to ensure secure, private, and compliant communication and group management.
Send email from your domain
It’s a hassle to ask people to add your communication tool's domain to their contact list in order for them to receive your emails. And frankly, there’s a better way.
With Connect, you can send emails directly from your domain. This will improve the deliverability of your emails and boosts the legitimacy and authenticity of your messages.
