Our Story

Hi, I'm Ben — the founder of Adoration Connect.
I was raised Catholic, and I'm heavily involved in my own parish in Hudson, Wisconsin today — I'm a Knight of Columbus, I lead our AV team, and I'm part of Haven, our group for young families in the parish. My wife and I have a two-year-old, and our parish community is a real part of how we spend our time together.
I'm an entrepreneur at heart, and I love finding efficiencies — I've built software for Catholic parishes before, and I'm always drawn to the parts of a tool that could just be simpler. Our own parish was already using scheduling software to run its adoration program, and I saw a real opportunity: something that did the same job, without the complexity or the cost. Adoration Connect is what happened when I pointed that instinct at adoration scheduling specifically.
That's what it's built to be: a flat, predictable price, no per-adorer fees, and a tool that gets out of the way so your parish can focus on what actually matters — keeping the chapel covered, hour after hour.
Outside of building this, you'll usually find me with my family, or planning the next trip — traveling is a real love of mine.
If you have questions, or just want to talk it through before committing to anything, reach out any time.
