Tilma is Glass Canvas's Catholic parish and diocesan platform for churches that need a website their own team can keep current. Pastors, admins, and volunteers publish announcements and bulletins, homilies, team listings, and Mass times on mobile-optimized ministry pages, without needing technical skill.^1
Parishes also get the Tilma Content Libraries: original and curated formation and evangelization content that can populate the site automatically or be picked resource by resource. Partners include Abiding Together Podcast, Grotto Network, and Ascension Presents, and topics run from marriage and parenting to prayer and daily discipleship.^1 For dioceses, Tilma provides a unified, networked platform: parishes stay locally managed while the diocese shares campaigns, formation, and resources across every parish.^2 The Archdiocese of Vancouver built its parish renewal around Tilma Parish, Behold formation, Proclaim, and a Resource Center for ministry collaboration.^3 Catholic Times for the Diocese of Columbus and Northwest Catholic for the Archdiocese of Seattle still publish on Tilma.^4 Makani Marquis of the Archdiocese of Vancouver says, "The Tilma platform has been a game changer for us."^6
Glass Canvas is led by CEO and co-founder Jason Jensen. In a published interview he said, "We wanted to help parishes make more ministry impact and care for their people easier and better," describing Tilma as parish software that brings website, giving, events, people engagement, and email into one place.^7 The name comes from Juan Diego's tilma, the worker's garment that carried the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe; the team says it wants to bring its humble technology before God for him to work through.^8 Access is subscription-based, with no usage limits and risk-free cancellation, and the Behold Library is an optional add-on.^9 Glass Canvas is now becoming a ministry that offers accompaniment freely, and it states that Tilma and its software services will remain operational and unchanged.^10
