Case Study: Saint Anthony RC Parish achieves streamlined parish management and instant parishioner communications with ParishSOFT Family Suite (ParishSOFT)

Saint Anthony RC Parish - Customer Case Study

Saint Anthony Roman Catholic Parish (Diocese of Paterson), a stewardship parish in Hawthorne, NJ, had relied on ParishSOFT’s desktop system but faced time-consuming double- and triple-entry of records, limited communication tools, and vulnerability to a single office computer failure. Seeking a more efficient, cloud-based way to manage census, religious education and giving data, the parish evaluated options and chose to upgrade.

In November 2017 Saint Anthony moved to ParishSOFT Family Suite and added ParishCast for rapid, targeted notifications. The cloud migration was smooth, onboarding was easy, and staff gained a single, centralized database plus built-in help tools. ParishCast and My Own Church improved targeted email/text outreach, tracking and data accuracy—resulting in faster communications, higher engagement, no unsubscribe complaints, and streamlined parish operations.
