My storyand why I build
Parishes and dioceses run on volunteers and busy clergy. The tools they've had are either spreadsheets and phone trees, or software that's too complicated and too expensive for the job. Catholic Hub builds the simple middle ground.
Hi, I'm Ben, the founder of Catholic Hub.
I was raised Catholic, and today I'm heavily involved in my own parish in Hudson, Wisconsin. I'm a member of the Knights of Columbus, I lead our AV team, and I'm part of Haven, our group for young families. My wife and I are raising our little one in that community, and it's a real part of how we spend our time together.
I'm an entrepreneur at heart, and I love finding efficiencies. I've built software for Catholic parishes before, and I'm always drawn to the parts of a tool that could just be simpler.
Catholic Hub is where that instinct lives. Every product I make has the same goals: a flat, predictable price, nothing to install, and a tool that gets out of the way so priests, staff, and volunteers can focus on what actually matters.
Outside of building this, you'll usually find me with my family or planning the next trip. Traveling is a real love of mine.

Where the tools came from
Real problems, real parishes.
For dioceses
Clergy Connect
Built for diocesan Mass coverage. Finding a sub for a pastor usually means working down a phone list until a priest says yes. Clergy Connect turns that into one email to the right nearby priests, and the first to claim it covers it.

Adoration Connect
Started at Ben's own parish, which was already paying for scheduling software to run its adoration program. Adoration Connect does the same job for a flat, predictable price, with an automatic substitute finder and a simple check-in kiosk by the chapel door.
