Through its outsourced subscription model, CathoNet offers advantages of easy setup, rapid deployment, no up-front capital outlays, low pricing, automatic software upgrades, and dramatically-improved security, reporting, auditability and usability.

CathoNet's ManageMyParish and ManageMyDiocese solutions fulfill CathoNet's Mission and meet the needs of individual parishes and of entire dioceses. CathoNet's Process Improvement Blueprint helps parishes and dioceses improve internal procedures and effectiveness.

Parish, School, and Diocese Accounting

CathoNet's Accounting Platform provides financial staff with secure, anytime-anywhere hosted access to leading accounting software applications. Benefits include:

• Fiscal Controls and Transparency: Full FASB 117 compliance, full support for fund-based accounting, and full audit trails, plus standardized and consolidating reporting
• Proven Accounting Applications: QuickBooks and Peachtree are used by more non-profits than any other accounting solution for their reliability, controls, and ease-of-use. Unlike other solutions that require time consuming training to instill non-tranferrable skills, CathoNet leverages the skills your staff already has or would love to learn.
• Rapid On-boarding: An entire diocese can be online in just a few weeks so you can standardize right away.
• Fully-Managed, Secure, Enterprise-Class Solution: Operating from top-tier data centers and highly-reliable computing systems, we deliver the level of service your diocese demands.
• Proven Across the Country and Around the World: CathoNet's Accounting Platform is in use in thousands of parishes and schools across the United States using applications with millions of person-years of proven success world-wide.

Easily manage your census, financial, and sacramental records

We've all seen the complexity and hidden costs of on-premise parish management software and consulting. Now, through CathoNet's distributed management capabilities, which enable multiple viewers to remotely and securely access, edit and view critical data in real-time—parish and diocesan leaders can manage their combined accounting, census, stewardship, and sacramental data with maximum ease, financial savings and impact.

Our goal is not just to enact positive change and to strengthen public trust in the Catholic Church. We aim to save you time and money otherwise spent managing:

• Financial Accounting and Reporting (FASB 117 Compliant)
• Parish Census, Sacramental Registries and Contributions, and
• Religious Education Records and Tracking

Quickly schedule your activities, resources, and events

As partners, we know that our Church clients clamor for better clarity, coordination and consistency in how parishes, dioceses, staffs, volunteers and ministries coordinate and book activities and events. Scheduling and staying on schedule is now a mission critical objective in parish and diocesan life.

To help Church leaders and staff do both, CathoNet's ManageMyParish and ManageMyDiocese solutions recognize and address the time-boundaries of fund-raisers, fiscal periods, and scheduling ministerial staff and resources. As integrated capabilities within the CathoNet solution, scheduling and staying on schedule will be easier and more affordable.

Clearly communicate across your community, parish, and diocese

Maintaining an up-to-date census and providing good communications are critical objectives for 21st Century parishes.

Beyond empowering parishes to collect parishioner information through registration and other interactions, CathoNet's solutions provide unsurpassed information integration and the ability to distribute—mail, email, txt, print—parish and diocesan news and communications in a timely, cost-effective manner.

What's more, through consolidated reporting, data standardization, and financial report submissions, CathoNet's solutions also enhance the level and quality of communication between parishes and dioceses—and enable parishioners to update their own records.

Straightforwardly integrate with proven, standard applications

Combining the best of both worlds—web-based management solutions for census and contributions, and popular desktop accounting applications for anywhere/anytime access—CathoNet's suite of shared on-demand software is designed to be integrated seamlessly into your existing IT environment.

CathoNet integrates with external systems (e.g., online-giving, Kenedy directory) and parish/diocesan data, plus a range of:

• Standard Financial Applications (e.g., QuickBooks, Peachtree)
• Third-Party Online Systems (e.g., CASS, Payment Gateways, Safe Environment Verification), and
• Third-Party Communication Solutions (e.g., envelopes, newsletters).
