A Joomla schedule manager for parish websites
Mass Schedule Manager stores Mass times for one or more churches and publishes the relevant schedule on a Joomla site.
This is a job that arises when a parish website must publish recurring times that change for Sundays, Saturday vigils, feast days and seasonal periods. Joomla core can display a timetable as an article, custom HTML module or menu-linked content, but it does not provide a dedicated schedule model that calculates the next event or applies date-specific replacements. A template override can change the presentation of existing content; it does not remove the need to maintain those rules. Administrators can therefore manage simple schedules manually in core, use an override for a custom presentation, or install an extension when exceptions and multiple locations make manual editing cumbersome.
According to the listing, Mass Schedule Manager goes beyond that core approach with:
- separate records for multiple churches, including Roman or Ambrosian rite;
- weekday, vigil and holiday slots, plus seasonal periods and date-specific exceptions;
- four choices for handling anticipated weekday feast Masses;
- a frontend component and
mod_messemodule for the next Mass or full schedule.
It is aimed at parish, diocesan and religious-community teams responsible for several churches or frequently changing calendars. A small site with one church and a stable timetable may have no reason to add a component instead of maintaining an article or module.
The listing identifies Gioacchino Cipriano as the developer and shows no reviews, but gives no wider directory track record. It does not state whether the package is paid or free, nor does it describe support or update arrangements. It does specify Joomla 5.x or 6.x, PHP 8.1+, and InnoDB/utf8mb4 requirements; those should be checked against the hosting environment before installation.
