The story

I became Catholic at Easter 2026. The faith I found was alive, but finding the community around it was strangely hard. The young-adult groups existed; they just were not findable. People at my own group said the same thing: it is hard to meet people, and even Mass-time websites are often out of date.

Catholic Circle is the map I wished I had. It started in Miami and now maps Catholic life across all of Florida: every parish, every Mass, Confession, and Adoration time we can find, and a directory of the groups where community actually happens.

The mission

Make Catholic community findable for everyone: families, seniors, students, converts, and Spanish speakers, not just one group. Isolation is one of the most common reasons people drift away, and most who leave do so quietly. A map will not fix everything. But nobody should leave because they could not find the door.

How verification works

In Miami, schedules come from the official Archdiocese directory, and an automated weekly check cross-reads each parish’s own website. When everything agrees, you see a green “Verified” badge with the date. Across the rest of Florida, we gather times from each parish’s own website and mark them “Not yet confirmed” until we can verify them, so you always know how solid a listing is. When sources disagree we say so, and anyone can report outdated info from any church page.

Free, nonprofit, no ads

Catholic Circle is a nonprofit project. No ads, no selling data, nothing to buy. It exists to serve the Church across Florida and, God willing, beyond.

Data sources

Church and schedule data comes from each diocese’s public directory and from parishes’ own websites. Found an error? Use the report button on any church page.
