Introduction to Outward Sign

Welcome to Outward Sign, the sacrament and sacramental management tool designed specifically for Catholic parishes.

What is Outward Sign?

Outward Sign helps parish staff plan, communicate, and celebrate the sacraments and sacramentals that are at the heart of Catholic parish life. Our belief is simple: The Sacraments are the core activity of the Catholic Parish, and their proper celebration at every step is the evangelizing work of parishes.
