PATHFinder Premium Provides Courses That Bring Added Value
We create educational content that goes beyond your ParishSOFT software. Our new PATHFinder Premium courses include tips, tricks and best practices that we have learned over the past 20 years while working with dioceses and parishes around the country. Here are a few of the many topics you can learn through PATHFinder Premium:

  • Expand Your Reach with ParishSOFT Intelligent Query (IQ)
  • Engaging All Generations in a Changing World
  • Preparing for the Unexpected
  • Why Online Giving is an Essential Part of Today’s Church
  • Secure, Transparent and Consistent Accounting Standards


The content is not essential to use your ParishSOFT software, but it contains information that can help you make better use of the software already being used by your organization.

ParishSOFT offers this information to you as part of the PATHFinder Premium service. Each course costs $10/per learner and can be purchased separately in PATHFinder. Once purchased, the course is yours to watch as many times as you like from your learner dashboard.
