Parish Management Software
Document Actions
National Stewardship Ministries, in cooperation with the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese Departments of Administration, Finance and Information Technologies has established a Committee on Parish Management Software.
The Committee is made up of individuals with expertise and experience in project management, software engineering, accounting, tax law, parish management and more. This committee has evaluated parish management software programs currently available and has chosen the most suitable program for the needs of our parishes.
Benefits will include favorable pricing due to number of users, greater ease of reporting to the Metropolis and Archdiocese through compatible formats, and better support through improved communication between parishes and the software provider.
The team is currently working with Parish Data System to test and develop rollout plans to include training, implementation and migration plans.
If you would like additional information, please send an email to stewardship@goarch.org or to Nick Sialmas at nsialmas@goarch.org
