For diaspora parishes: two languages, one community
Parishes abroad bring together generations who speak Greek and generations who speak the local language. Convivia speaks both.
What makes it hard today
Two languages, double the work
Every announcement is written twice and sent through different channels.
Parishioners far apart
Families live across the city or in other cities and lose touch.
Gifts from many countries
Transfers from different banks with no clear reference.
What changes with Convivia
Greek and English
The interface and messages in each member's preferred language.
Built for Europe
GDPR as the starting point, with EU data hosting as the goal.
Euros and SEPA
Gifts from across the eurozone, with funds and receipts.
The Orthodox calendar
Even where the local calendar keeps other feasts.
A community that stays close
Name days, events and news reach everyone.
On the phone
Younger parishioners find the schedule where they already look.

Questions
Does it support countries outside the eurozone?
The first version focuses on euros and SEPA. Tell us about your country in the demo.
Can each member choose a language?
Yes, that is the design goal.
Does the GDPR apply outside Greece?
The GDPR applies across the EU. Outside the EU, for example in the UK, similar rules apply; check local requirements.
