Easily Manage Your Census, Financial, and Sacramental RecordsWe’ve all seen the complexity and hidden costs of on-premise parish management software and consulting. Now, through CathoNet’s distributed management capabilities—which enable multiple viewers to remotely and securely access, edit, and view critical data in real-time—parish and diocesan leaders can manage their combined accounting, census, stewardship, and sacramental data with maximum ease, financial savings, and impact.

Our goal is to enact positive change and to strengthen public trust in the Catholic Church. We also aim to save you time and money otherwise spent managing:

•    Financial Accounting and Reporting (FASB 117 Compliant)

•    Parish Census, Sacramental Registries, and Contributions

•   Religious Education Records and Tracking

Quickly Schedule Your Activities, Resources, and EventsAs partners, we know that our Church clients have a dire need for better clarity, coordination, and consistency in how parishes, dioceses, schools, staffs, volunteers, and ministries coordinate and book activities and events. Scheduling and staying on schedule is now a mission critical objective in parish and diocesan life.

To help Church leaders and staff accomplish this, CathoNet’s ManageMyParish and ManageMyDiocese solutions recognize and address the time boundaries of fundraisers, fiscal periods, and scheduling ministerial staff and resources. As integrated capabilities within the CathoNet solution, scheduling and staying on schedule will be easier and more affordable.

Clearly Communicate Across Your Community, Parish, Diocese, and SchoolMaintaining an up-to-date census and providing good communications are critical objectives for parishes.

Beyond empowering parishes to collect parishioner information through registration and other interactions, CathoNet solutions provide unsurpassed information integration and the ability to distribute—via mail, e-mail, text, or print—parish and diocesan news and communications in a timely, cost-effective manner.

What’s more, through consolidated reporting, data standardization, and financial report submissions, CathoNet solutions also enhance the level and quality of communication between parishes, dioceses, and schools—and enable parishioners to update their own records.
