Mass Schedule Manager handles multi-church service times
Mass Schedule Manager manages and publishes Mass times for one or more churches, including seasonal schedules and date-specific exceptions.
This is a recurring scheduling problem because church timetables are not just static pages: Saturday vigils, feast days, summer hours and parish-specific exceptions can all change what visitors should see next. Joomla core can publish articles, custom fields and modules, and its publishing dates can handle some one-off timing. A team could also maintain a timetable in an article and use a template override to control its presentation. Core does not provide a dedicated recurring schedule model with vigil calculations, date-range replacements or a “next Mass” result. According to the listing, this extension adds those rules, plus a separate mod_messe module for placing a church’s schedule in a module position.
The intended audience is a parish, diocese or religious community with several churches, changing seasonal timetables, or administrators who need to update schedules without editing page markup. A single-church site with a fixed weekly timetable, or a site that only needs an occasional announcement, probably has no use for it and can use an article or custom fields instead.
Before installing, note that the listing does not state a price or label the package as free; it does say the source is released under GPL v2 or later. It identifies Gioacchino Cipriano as the developer, but shows zero reviews and no broader directory track record. The listing specifies Joomla 5.x or 6.x, PHP 8.1 or higher, and MySQL or MariaDB with InnoDB and utf8mb4. It does not explain migration or import options, timezone handling, frontend accessibility, update support, or how existing timetable data should be recovered if the component is removed.
