ParishBot — AI assistants for Catholic parishes
A platform that gives each parish its own knowledge assistant — trained only on that parish's published information — alongside a Bible Q&A assistant answered from a faithful Catholic perspective. Designed, built, and operated by Catholic Coder on Cloudflare's edge.
Grounded, not guessing
Each assistant answers strictly from parish-published information — Mass and confession times, staff contacts, sacraments, and ministries — refreshed automatically every week, and clearly defers to the parish office for anything it doesn't know.
How it works
Reverent design over a careful, fact-faithful retrieval pipeline.
Per-parish knowledge base
Each parish's website is crawled weekly, then distilled by a frontier model into a compact, extract-only knowledge base — with automated fidelity checks so contact details and schedules are never invented.
Answers that stay in bounds
The assistant answers only parish questions, declines off-topic requests, and routes Scripture questions to a dedicated Catholic Bible Q&A assistant — keeping every response on-mission.
Fast, durable edge hosting
Built on Cloudflare Workers and Workers AI: a static front end at the edge, streaming chat, and a weekly scheduled refresh — with low operating cost and no servers to maintain.
ParishBot is a Catholic Coder product. Each parish assistant is grounded in that parish's own published information and refreshed weekly. Explore the live site at parishbot.org.
