Catholic technologists, creatives, and builders advancing the Church’s mission through open, interoperable software.
The Catholic Church faces fragmentation in technology: siloed data, duplicated parishioner onboarding, and limited integration with modern digital tools. TechSaints.dev unites builders worldwide to create tools that embody the Church’s mission while solving real-world pain points.
Our work is open source, community-driven, and aligned with Catholic values of stewardship, collaboration, and service.
“The mission of the Church is to proclaim His presence and to serve Him.”
By building interoperable, open tools, we make parish life welcoming, connected, and future-ready.
