Getting started
A quick tour: how Vianney is organized
Vianney is one place for the day-to-day life of the parish — people, the Mass, sacraments, communication, and pastoral care. Everything is reached from the tabs along the side. What you see depends on your role, so two staff members may have different menus.
The main areas
- Today — your home base: birthdays, anniversaries, this week's Masses, funerals and baptisms in progress, the sick list, and anything needing attention. See Your Today dashboard.
- People — the parish directory: households, contact details, sacraments, and history.
- Narthex — a catch-all for the things people tell you in passing, sorted and drafted for a reply.
- Liturgy / This Week — Mass schedule, intentions, celebrants, and ministry assignments.
- Funerals, Baptism, Matrimony — a guided case for each sacrament from first call to the register.
- Communications — email and text to groups of parishioners.
- Care — the sick list, care cases, and death anniversaries.
- Settings — staff, roles, modules, and parish setup (admins only).
A rule that runs through everything
Vianney never sends anything by itself. The AI may draft a message, sort a note, or suggest a match — but a person always reviews and clicks send. And the system never guesses who someone is; when a name is unclear it shows you the candidates and lets you choose.
