Connected Nest Community vs Catholic Square

Whether you're navigating infertility, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, early parenting or the lasting journey, you don’t have to do it alone. The Connected Nest app is a supportive space designed specifically for those on the path to and through parenthood. We understand the emotional, physical, and mental challenges that come with each stage, and we’re here to help you feel less isolated and more empowered. This app will create space for our Facing Fertility, Empowering Moms and Equipping Parents programs and those who have engaged with us. Inside the app, you’ll find and help build a community that gets it. Real talk is welcomed, questions are met with care, and vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. This isn’t a place for perfection. It’s a place for connection, compassion, and honest support. Use the app to: Ask questions or join open discussions in a judgment-free zone Explore a collection of growing support resources tailored to your journey Get reminders and updates about the programs and topics you care about most RSVP to support groups facilitated by trained peers and mental health professionals who’ve been there too RSVP to volunteer led peer activities. RSVP to live events, workshops, and group sessions focused on fertility, postpartum care, parenting challenges, and mental health Connect with others nearby (origination of program in Southwestern Pennsylvania) or in similar life phases Whether you’re attending your first group, checking in after a hard day, or just craving real connection, Connected Nest is here to meet you where you are with encouragement, tools, and a caring community in your pocket. We know that the need for support begins long before babies arrive and lasts longer than the first year. We also know that solidarity can help challenges feel a little lighter, while celebrating successes with community brings greater joy. Our mission is to make connections community-based, supported and responsive. Thank you for being a part of it.

A Catholic digital town square to discover, connect, and belong. Catholic Square is a new kind of platform: built for faithful community, designed for modern connection. In a noisy and divided world, Catholic Square offers something different — a digital town square where Catholics can rediscover the joy of shared life. Rooted in the richness of the Catholic tradition and built with modern simplicity, the app is structured around its core spaces: Home, Groups, Events, and Market. Home Your all-in-one Catholic community feed — open, inspiring, and always real. The Home tab is your digital parish piazza — a central feed where you can explore what's happening across Catholic Square in real time. Discover trending posts, meaningful reflections, and updates from groups you follow. See highlights from across the platform: groups, parishes, and events. Share your thoughts, photos, prayers, or questions with the broader Catholic community The more you engage, the more personalized your feed becomes. Bit unlike other platforms, Catholic Square doesn't manipulate your attention. The feed reflects authentic activity, not artificial trends. It's community, not control. Groups The heart of community. Join conversations and groups that speak to your life. Topic-based groups like: Faith & Culture Mom's Corner Young Adult Life Books, Podcasts & Resources Ask & Discuss Roommates / Housing / Jobs Works of Mercy Parish-specific groups (e.g. Immaculate Heart of Mary, Our Lady of Lourdes) Direct messaging for members This is where connection happens: daily, freely, and with purpose.

Whether you're a young adult seeking authentic Catholic friendship, a parent looking for support, a parish leader trying to reach your community, or someone quietly exploring the Church — Catholic Square was built for you. Why now? Millions of Catholics feel disconnected — from their parishes, their peers, and their purpose. Catholic Square bridges that gap with a digital platform designed not to compete with parish life, but to strengthen it. We make it easier to live the Catholic life — together. Why us? Our team is made up of Catholic leaders, digital community builders, and tech professionals. We know how to create vibrant, safe, and meaningful platforms — and we believe the Church deserves one. No noise. No manipulation. Just real Catholic community. Launching in Denver. A local beginning with a big mission.
