St. Michael Parish: Accurate Data Improves Stewardship And Budget

ParishSOFT partnered with St. Michael Parish in Worthington, Ohio to replace an outdated records system and tackle inconsistent, incomplete data for a parish serving roughly 1,600 families. The parish needed a reliable conversion before year-end reporting, accurate membership counts, and better tools for communication and stewardship — all while managing busy liturgical seasons and limited staff bandwidth.

ParishSOFT converted the legacy data, trained staff, and enabled tools like CASS address certification, MailMerge, online stewardship forms, and integrated electronic giving. The parish now shows a more accurate census (about 1,600 families with ~700 regularly active), achieved 99.625% address certification, cut mailing costs, increased stewardship response from 18% to 40%, grew contributions, and reached roughly 8% electronic giving participation (about 130 families).
