TechSaints.dev — Open-Source Tooling

Catholic technologists, creatives, and builders advancing the Church’s mission through open, interoperable software.

License: Apache-2.0


🌟 Vision

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.

🔥 Call to Action

“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.

Join The Mission and let's build!
