Key Features

  1. 360-Degree Profile Aggregation: A single page displaying a member’s complete timeline, attendance history, giving records, sacramental events, and pastoral follow-ups.
  2. Parish Directory: A searchable member directory with privacy toggles enabling members to control whether their profiles are visible to others.
  3. Confession Father Relationship: Spiritual connection mapping that links parish members to their spiritual/confession fathers (priests) for pastoral tracking.
  4. Engagement Scoring: Algorithmic scoring that tracks member activity and automatically flags individuals who may be disengaging or require care.
