For Parish Priests

What’s your Parish Plan?

Every Catholic needs a Faith Plan. Every parish needs a Parish Plan. KeenCatholic gives you both. Free for clergy.

The Pastoral Reality

Mission grows as parishioners grow in faith

The Church entrusts pastors with the ongoing formation of adult parishioners – that they may be “strengthened, enlightened, and developed” (Canon 777 §5).

Your parishioners are at every stage of faith. Most have no clear picture of where they stand or what to prioritise next. One-to-one accompaniment at scale is not possible.

As parishioners complete their Faith Plans, your Parish Plan comes to life. It surfaces the formation gaps your community shares and points to the courses that will serve them most. Parish growth becomes visible, measurable, and actionable.

Why It Matters

Renewal of the Church means personal renewal

Joanna Bogle

KeenCatholic was a challenge – and a revelation! It opened up new avenues of thought in my relationship with God, and with the Church. This could revitalise our parishes. Being a Catholic isn't carrying a label – it's about our bond with Christ, our walk with Him through life and into eternity. Renewal of the Church means personal renewal. I warmly recommend KeenCatholic – pass on the news to friends and colleagues!

What You Get

Everything to grow faith and mission in your parish

Parish Plan

An aggregate formation picture across your whole parish. See how parishioners are distributed across the five stages, which practice areas show the greatest gaps, and which courses your community needs most.

Aggregate data only – individual Faith Plans are never shared with the priest.

Parish Courses

Ready-to-run courses built for enthusiastic parishioners to lead, in a similar way to Alpha, Sycamore, Bible studies, etc. A typical two-hour evening needs minimal preparation. You authorise and parishioners run it.

Facilitator guidance is included.

Parish Toolkit

Everything you need to get your parishioners started. Customised promotional materials, a Parish Code giving parishioners a membership discount, plus Grant Memberships each year for parishioners in need.

Parish Plan

Know your parish more deeply

You already have a pastoral sense of your parish. The Parish Plan adds a formation layer to that picture – showing patterns across your whole community that are hard to see one conversation at a time.

It reveals where your community is collectively strong or weak and surfaces the courses that would serve your parish most. Use it to confirm your instincts, spot what you might be missing, and plan your formation calendar with confidence.

Every three months, KeenCatholic records a formation picture of your parish – aligned with the seasons of the Church's year. Over time this builds into a record of your community's growth, showing where progress is being made and where focus is still needed.

Personally identifiable information is never shared. You see aggregate patterns, not individual records.

Parish Courses

Formation your parishioners can run themselves

KeenCatholic's 25 parish courses are drawn from the Katechon – our catalogue of 164 practices across every area of Catholic life. Each course is built for a trained parishioner to lead, in the same model as Alpha or Sycamore.

A typical two-hour evening includes video talks from Catholic clergy and theologians, followed by structured group discussion. No theological expertise is required from the leader. A course facilitator guide is provided.

Which courses to run is not guesswork. The Parish Plan surfaces the areas where your community shows the greatest gaps. Those become the priority courses for your parish calendar.

Every practice in KeenCatholic is drawn from the teachings of the Catholic Church, with sources from Scripture, the Catechism, Canon Law, the Councils and the Magisterium referenced throughout. In a world of abundant Christian content, KeenCatholic helps Catholics form their faith specifically in what the Catholic Church teaches and asks of them. It is built to support parish priests in forming missionary parishioners.
