What Antiphon does

Antiphon reads the liturgical calendar and knows what this Sunday is — the feast, the season, the readings and the vestment colour. Covers bind to that data rather than having it typed in.

What it saves you You stop looking up the readings and the proper name of the Sunday, and you stop shipping a bulletin that says the wrong one.

• Feast, season and cycle resolved per date
• Mass readings fetched automatically
• Violet, white, red, rose and green follow the season

Drag, drop, snap and align on a real page at real print dimensions. Text, images, shapes and rules go where you put them, and stay there.

What it saves you The person making the bulletin stops fighting a text box that reflows the whole document when an announcement runs two lines long.

• Snapping guides and alignment
• Multi-page spreads
• Margin and bleed guides for the printer

Complete bulletin designs — framed plates, small-caps liturgical headings, dominant cover imagery and a palette that follows the season — rather than a blank page with a border.

What it saves you A parish with nobody on staff who designs gets a bulletin that looks designed, on the first attempt.

• Several complete multi-page designs
• Save your own as a parish template
• Your house colours applied across a design

For the feast being printed, Antiphon proposes public-domain artwork from museum collections — with the painting, the painter and the holding institution travelling with the image.

What it saves you You get a cover that is about this Sunday, without a stock-photo subscription and without an attribution problem.

• Matched to the feast and the Gospel
• Attribution line composed for you
• Public domain, credited to the museum

Render the finished bulletin to a PDF at print dimensions, with the page geometry the printer expects.

What it saves you No exporting to a word processor, no “can you send it as a PDF”, no surprises at the print shop.

• True page size and margins
• Download or send straight on
• Digital edition from the same file

Every parish gets a public site — Mass times, sacraments, clergy, calendar, tributes and an archive of past bulletins — on its own subdomain or its own domain.

What it saves you The bulletin and the website stop disagreeing about when confessions are, because they are drawing on the same record.

• Your own subdomain, or bring a domain
• Bulletin archive published automatically
• Contact form that reaches the office

Invite staff and volunteers by email with a role: Admin, Editor or Viewer. One login can belong to several parishes.

What it saves you The bulletin stops being one person’s password, and stops stopping when that person is on holiday.

• Invitations by email, valid 14 days
• Admin, Editor and Viewer roles
• One account across several parishes

Local businesses bid for space on the back page. Their sponsorships cover printing and delivery, and the surplus is shared.

What it saves you Physical printing comes off the parish budget entirely, and in a good month it puts money back on.

• Free signup, design and digital publishing
• Printing and delivery funded by sponsors
• The surplus is shared with the parish

Every advertisement is reviewed by the parish before it is printed. Approve it, reject it, or block an advertiser outright.

What it saves you Nothing appears beside your Mass times that you did not agree to — which is the only basis on which ad-funded printing is acceptable at all.

• Review queue for every creative
• Block advertisers or whole categories
• Auto-approve Catholic non-profits, if you want
