Case Study: St. John the Evangelist Parish achieves streamlined administration and accurate member records with ParishSOFT

St. John The Evangelist: Managing A Bustling Parish Office

St. John the Evangelist in Fenton, Michigan is a busy parish registering 10–15 new families a month and faced growing administrative strain from manual registration, ministry scheduling, and maintaining an accurate membership census. Staff needed a way to streamline routine tasks, clean up long-standing data issues, and free time to focus on pastoral and event details.

By using ParishSOFT’s MailMerge, Reports and Time & Talent modules, the parish automated mailings and address labels, produced anniversary and census reports quickly, and created ministry schedules with a few clicks. The changes saved hours of work, improved data accuracy through proactive outreach and cleanup, and tightened parish census figures from about 3,300 to 3,132 registered families while giving staff greater confidence in reporting and more time for meaningful ministry.
