A ParishSOFT alternative built around parish families

If you are weighing a move away from ParishSOFT, ParishConnect keeps families, wards, sacraments and communication in one portal, with a free app for members and a free parish website. Here is what to compare before you switch.

Family and ward records

Every person sits in a family, and every family in a ward with its own ward leader.

Sacraments and life events

Record sacraments, marriages, vocations and statuses, with supporting documents attached.

Free member app

Members get a free iOS and Android app with Mass times, news, bulletins and notifications.

Free parish website

A three-page parish website fed by your portal, so Mass times and news stay current.

Spreadsheet import

Bring families and members in from a spreadsheet export instead of retyping them.

Role-based access

Parish admins, ward leaders and members each see only their own scope.
