Ideal for all groups within the parish. Because wherever groups come together to make a difference, whether in the pastoral team, in the youth group or in the parish council, well-functioning communication and smart organisation are required.
This works well and efficiently with a digital solution like mantau.

We started with the organisation of the First Communion in Wachtberg, which was a complete success! Since December, we have therefore extended the use of mantau to all interested parishioners and provide information about current events or the progress of our merger into the Meckenheim-Wachtberg pastoral unit, for example. With mantau, we are close to the parishioners and their desire to strengthen the community.
Mr Pastor Michael Maxeiner
Katholische Kirchengemeinde St. Marien und St. Johannes der Täufer Wachtberg und Meckenheim, Head pastor
As a daycare centre, we were looking for a suitable communication platform for parents, educators, the team and the provider for a long time. We found all this in mantau! The APP is ‘child's play’.
Thanks to the quick help and good co-operation with EXEC, problems and stumbling blocks are solved in a solution-oriented manner. Now we have more time for the important things again:
PLAYING, LAUGHING, SINGING + EXPLORING WITH OUR KITA KIDS!
In addition to our website and social media presence, we use mantau to organise our diverse collaboration in groups.
We use a news channel to inform our parishioners about the many events, programmes, activities and gatherings at our church locations.
As a pastoral team, we use the various opportunities to communicate with people and involve them.
Mr Pastor Xavier Manickathan
Katholische Kirchengemeinde St. Peter und Paul im Kannenbäckerland, Head pastor
We use the app to organise a large part of our pastoral work. It is also a modern working platform for our confirmands and the parents of the communion children.
Everything is possible, from registration forms to group chats. This noticeably reduces the workload in the parish office.
Mrs Manuela Dickob
Katholische Kirchengemeinde St. Peter und Paul im Kannenbäckerland, Parish secretary, central parish office
We use mantau in the parish council for our committee work, e.g. for inviting participants with feedback options, providing minutes and collecting topics.
mantau is a very good project app for organising our numerous events.
Mr Dr. Florian Dittrich
Katholische Kirchengemeinde St. Peter und Paul im Kannenbäckerland, Chairman of the parish council
We now have tablets and smartphones in every children's group.
mantau ensures that information is passed on reliably and at short notice. Because things usually have to happen quickly, e.g. when a message arrives in the morning before the start and we have to reorganise quickly.
It was very important to me that it could be customised to our daycare centre. And that I was able to set it up myself - without IT specialists - in a short space of time.
The use of mantau works great. For example, it has simplified the organisation of the team meeting enormously (with one click you could see how many people had agreed to attend and plan the meal accordingly), the schedule is in one central place for everyone to read and the possibility to synchronise the appointments with the calendar from the mobile phone inspires many.
Mr. Tim Wichmann
Children's musical of the Andreasgemeinde, Coordination team
