UrbanPyx AI & operations for Catholic parish life

UrbanPyx Applied AI

Hands-on help, for a few parishes at a time.

Applied AI is the consulting studio behind UrbanPyx. We map your parish’s real workflows, build the system, train your team, and leave behind something you can run without us.


How we work

  1. Readiness Roadmap — $[1,500]. We interview your staff and leadership, map how work actually flows through your office, review data handling and risk, and hand you a prioritized roadmap. You leave knowing exactly what to fix first and what it will take — whether or not you ever hire us again.
  2. A focused implementation sprint — $[4,500]. We build one system end to end, train the people who will run it, and document it so it survives staff transitions. One sprint, one outcome, visibly calmer office.
  3. Optional monthly support — $[500]/mo. Office hours, workflow tune-ups, policy and governance review, and honest reporting on what’s actually being used. Support, not dependency — the goal is that you need us less over time.

The five sprints

  • Communication Rescue — calm the bulletin and email pipeline, with one intake path and an approval step
  • Religious Ed Operations — registration, parent communication, and catechist support made repeatable
  • Ministry Coordination OS — volunteer handoffs, scheduling, and room/event coordination that survives turnover
  • Parish Knowledge Library — a searchable home for the knowledge currently living in one person’s memory
  • Parish AI Intern Buildout — bounded AI assistants for specific admin jobs, with safety rules built in

We take a limited number of engagements each season.


Our commitments

  • A human approves anything public, personal, or pastoral — AI drafts, people decide
  • Sacramental records, donor information, and anything touching minors stay behind strict boundaries
  • Diocesan standards come first; if a rule conflicts with a workflow idea, the rule wins
  • No fake pastoral care — AI never impersonates clergy or simulates ministry

These come from our nine safety principles, grounded in Magnifica Humanitas. Read our grounding.
