Client Testimonial
“The new ParishSoft Safe Environment Program is both intuitive and functional. The database stands apart from others by providing a detailed history of assignments for all persons profiled. This tremendous feature allows for looking back at the history of employment or volunteer positions of any person that may be of concern. If a child is harmed, ParishSoft Assignment History makes it possible to look for other locations that the person in question may have been active in the past.”- Glenn Goldapp, Systems Coordinator for the Diocese of Corpus Christi.
