Why Parishes Choose ParishStaq by Pushpay

Chris Kozlowski
St. Isidore Catholic Church
"Once you get onto a platform like Pushpay, people are giving on a weekly basis or a monthly basis, and their support doesn’t waiver. So that’s huge. Based on the statistic that most people only attend their own church 40 times a year, that’s a 20% gain right off the top."
Fr. Christopher Walsh
St. Raymond of Penafort Catholic Church
"With the LEAD App, I can bring up their name, see a picture, and hit a button to call them or get directions to their home. It’s been a total gamechanger."
Fr. Anthony Stewart
Mother Teresa Catholic Church
"It makes my ministry so much easier and I get to be more personal with families."
Jennifer LaMontagne
St. John Newman Center
"It’s so nice having a comprehensive view of who’s involved, how they’re involved, and identifying opportunities to intentionally continue their path towards discipleship."
Lisa Sliker
Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church
"At the macro-level, data can be used to measure not only how effective we were in forming missionary disciples but, at the micro level, how well we’re forming hearts for Jesus."
