Is the information contained in ParishSOFT sold for advertising purposes?

No. Parishioner data is never sold for advertising purposes. The archdiocese and our parishes protect and respect parishioner data. Occasionally the archdiocese or parishes will use the lists to email or mail important information. For example, pledge cards are created for Catholic Services Appeal donors. Donors also receive annual donor statements or other important announcements through the census data stored in ParishSOFT.
