My Catholic Guide stays with the people of your parish in prayer, the saints, and the psalms through the week.
The parish does not run a campaign. Members link themselves, and the parish sees the life that follows.
A member links a My Catholic Guide account to one participating parish. That link is how prayer and support are tied to you.
A visit is marked with a saint badge, kept like a stamp in a pilgrim passport. Each badge is tied to a saint profile already on My Catholic Guide.
Read the saint profiles →Pastors and faith formation leaders see totals: linked members, visits, saint badges, and psalm journeys. Names stay hidden unless a member opts in.
This is a drawing of the parish ledger, built so you can read the layout. Every figure is example data. It is not a count from any parish, and it is not a promise of results.
Example data. Not a real parish.

This page is for faith formation directors, pastors, and parish staff. It is not an invitation aimed at youth.
Candidates can take the confirmation saint quiz now. A parish unit to teach alongside it is being prepared.

being preparedNo. The parish pays nothing to take part. There is no fee and nothing to buy.
Children and teens take part only after a parent gives consent, and only on a roster the parish manages. By default the parish sees totals, not names. A name and a personal history appear only when that member opts in. Prayer journal contents are never shared. Precise location is never shared.
It is formation. A saint badge marks a church that was visited and points to the life of that saint, in the way a pilgrim passport records a stop. Badges are not points, ranks, or a contest. The aim is prayer, the saints, and the psalms between Sundays.
A member links a My Catholic Guide account to one participating parish. Faith formation directors are the way in: you ask for the parish to take part, then households link their own accounts. We do not ask you to promote this to youth. Linking from a member account is being prepared. Write to us below and we will arrange it with you.
A parish is paid 30% of the net profit from members who have linked their accounts to that parish. Payments are made on a regular schedule. A public record will list what has been paid out. If a member is not linked to a parish in the network, that share is still given to the Church, through a designated Catholic parish. Nothing is billed to your parish. For the accounting detail behind net profit, ask in the form and we will write it out for you.
Tell us who you are and which parish you serve. We read every note and reply by email. This form is not a mailing list.
