ParishSOFT overview

What is ParishSOFT?

ParishSOFT is a church management software that helps parishes and dioceses manage operations related to religious education, event scheduling, donations, pledges, and more on a centralized platform. The family and member database allows parish administrator to register members for formation classes, create volunteer lists, update contact information, and track donation history.

ParishSOFT's accounting module enables employees to monitor bills, deposits, journal entries, restricted funds, and budgets for specific departments, projects, and committees. The facility scheduler functionality provides a built-in master calendar, which lets users schedule and track events, equipment, and meetings. Church employees can create invoice templates to generate tuition invoices and track payment transactions based on specific families or funds. It also lets users create purchase orders and manage processes related to payroll, deductions, benefits, and clergy allowances.

ParishSOFT's ledger report writer enables chancellors and auditors to create custom activity and financial statements. THE ParishCast communication too within ParishSOFT allows ministers to send SMS alerts about upcoming events, schedule updates, surveys, prayer requests, and volunteer sign-ups, among other activities.
