What eCatholic does

eCatholic, a division of WEBPRO PRODUCTIONS, LLC, operates a cloud-based SaaS engagement platform purpose-built for Catholic organizations in the United States. The platform unifies six natively integrated tools — Websites (drag-and-drop builder with Catholic themes), Online Giving, Pay (payment processing), Connect (email and SMS), Church Management System (ChMS), and Live Streaming — sold through a tiered subscription portfolio (Engage Base, Core, Plus, Max) with annual billing and quote-based pricing. The go-to-market combines a 30-day free trial product-led motion for small parishes with a dedicated direct-sales team targeting dioceses and multi-site deployments, supported by content marketing, a podcast, and an interactive Digital Engagement Audit lead-generation tool.

The company's customer base includes 8,000+ Catholic organizations (parishes, schools, dioceses, ministries), 150+ dioceses, and 1,000+ Catholic schools, with claimed 47% penetration of US parishes using eCatholic tools and 1.2M+ donations and payment transactions processed annually. Technical differentiators include the Diocesan Sharing feature (central-to-peripheral content distribution), MassTime scheduling, automatic syncing of website forms and giving data into the ChMS, and a proprietary Catholic content library aggregated from Word on Fire, USCCB, and Hallow. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring SaaS subscriptions, supplemented by professional services (Custom Design, Branding Package, Logo Design, Quick Flip migration, Homepage Makeover, Giving Success stewardship program, and white-glove Onboarding Services). The company is privately held, appears bootstrapped, and has no disclosed institutional funding.
