GabrielSoft joins the eCatholic family and product suite

A match made of excellent technology, phenomenal support, and service to the Church.

Blazing a new trail for church communication and engagement, I am excited to announce that eCatholic has acquired GabrielSoft, a cloud-based church management software (ChMS) company. Now that GabrielSoft has joined the eCatholic family, their ChMS has officially become a part of the eCatholic product suite.

I am happy to share this announcement on the Feast of St. John Vianney (Aug. 4). Canonized almost 100 years ago, St. John Vianney’s life and death have served as an inspiration of a servant’s heart through the great love, dedication and steadfast care he held for his parish flock.

It is fitting that we share this special day in the eCatholic journey with St. John Vianney, and we ask him to intercede for us as we begin to provide a software platform that will allow you to shepherd your own flock more intentionally and effectively.

Why GabrielSoft?

When we began to explore the idea of partnering with GabrielSoft, it became clear that adding their software to the eCatholic product suite would be a perfect fit; especially since our goals of serving the Church were so closely aligned.

“At GabrielSoft, our goal is (and has always been) to make church and parish database management easier, and teaming up with eCatholic will allow us to serve the Church in a big way.”

- Armand Brunelle, Founder of GabrielSoft

We are inspired daily by the constant love, sacrifices, and struggles that Church leaders experience while serving their flock. Our partnership with GabrielSoft was truly a result of listening to our customers and working to solve common technology challenges they face each and every day.

Your needs: answered

As we began to move towards this new partnership, we learned more about the product behind the name “GabrielSoft”. We found that the software was easy-to-use and could solve the data management pain points that were shared with us in recent customer interviews that we conducted.

Many of the people we spoke with expressed the need for help with their parishioner data management. The programs they used were outdated and unhelpful — and we were often asked if eCatholic products could more directly communicate with current ChMS systems.

The first item on our list of “to-do’s” will be to finalize a drag-and-drop Form Module that specifically collects information for Religious Education programs that can be synced directly to a parish’s GabrielSoft account. Not only that, but we are also planning to allow eCatholic Payments and GabrielSoft to communicate seamlessly so that you can have a better picture of your parishioners and their data across multiple eCatholic products.

Beyond the benefit that these integrations will have for parishes, GabrielSoft has also been a trusted partner for dioceses across the United States. The GabrielSoft platform was designed to handle large amounts of data coming from multiple sources. Now, there is an enterprise solution for dioceses that is able to standardize data throughout all of their parishes.

Serving the church as one family

In addition to this new product, eCatholic has also gained a few new team members from GabrielSoft. I am happy to see our team grow at such a quick pace, especially so we can continue to provide the excellent service and support you’ve come to know from both eCatholic and GabrielSoft.

While there are new and exciting changes happening at eCatholic and GabrielSoft, these changes only mean new opportunities for you to engage your flock and communicate more effectively than ever. If you are a current eCatholic or GabrielSoft customer looking to streamline your organization’s data, keep reading to see how you can continue to expand and integrate your digital toolbox.
