Case Study: St. Brigid of Kildare achieves streamlined scheduling and a surge in volunteerism and electronic giving with ParishSOFT

St. Brigid of Kildare - Customer Case Study

ParishSOFT’s case study highlights St. Brigid of Kildare in Dublin, Ohio, a large parish facing growing organizational demands: an expanding event schedule, high volumes of scheduling inquiries, and low financial participation (only about 20% of 2,600 registered families were contributing). The parish needed a better way to manage events, streamline office work, and increase stewardship while preserving a personal, community-focused approach.

St. Brigid implemented ParishSOFT’s web calendar (detailed popups, color-coding, recurring events) and used ParishSOFT tools for its Tapestry stewardship campaign (mail-merge communications and Offering & Tuition integration), with plans to add ACH for automated posting. The results: volunteerism surged, 1,500 pledge cards returned, over 700 families moved to electronic giving generating $30K–$50K/month in EFTs, fewer phone inquiries, significant administrative time savings, and improved pastoral follow-up.
