Release 10.0 Banner JPG
Mission Pathways is excited to accompany you, our parish partners, into the "new normal." What an opportunity ahead of us!

Release 10.0 focuses on supporting youth and family discipleship, enhancing the ParishSOFT API, expanding Inform key measurements, and more!
Tools for Youth Ministry and Accompaniment
New administrative and relationship-building features
Since Covid, many have expressed that the greatest evangelization opportunities are happening in family faith formation. Mission Pathways is here to help you build on this momentum.
Formbuilder for Youth
For those in youth ministry, the year is marked in forms. Now you can build a custom form or select from youth-specific fields such as grade, school, and parental information. Expect more updates in the weeks and months to come!

Households
To support you to track important relationships, each profile in the Mission Suite now contains Household information. Search for existing households, add a new one, or select a household from your ParishSOFT database!

Permission-Based Notes
Embedded within the profile, associate a note with multiple records, share it with suitable staff and leaders, or keep it confidential - whatever is necessary to protect and support growing disciples.
Grow Group Updates
Hassle-free group management
For many parish leaders, small groups and group-based ministries are the heart of evangelization and discipleship. To better support you, we've made the following updates to the Grow module:
Unlimited Group Roles
Add, edit, and delete roles: out with the static list and in with custom group roles!

Text or Email Multiple Groups At Once!
Perfect in the event of an emergency or to communicate a parish-wide update.

Delete or Inactivate Groups - in Bulk!
Need to clean up your list of Grow groups? Save time with the new bulk editing feature. Available from the new Grow Group List View.
ParishSOFT API Expanded
Reduce data entry with information sharing
Data entry is essential - and very time-consuming. We want to lighten your load.
Two-Way Integration: ParishSOFT & Mission Suite
Name and contact information fields are now enabled for two-way sharing. If you opt to turn on this feature, updates to one system will automatically update the other!

If you prefer, you can continue to make changes only to your ParishSOFT system. Changes made to a record in ParishSOFT will continue to appear on the associated record in Mission Suite.

Date of Birth
No need to re-enter information that is already there. If a ParishSOFT record has a birth date recorded, the Date of Birth will automatically be updated for the associated Mission Suite record.

Households
Profiles in the Mission Suite are now linked to a Household! You can create new households, select an existing household, or choose a ParishSOFT Household (Family) and link it to the correct Mission Suite profile.
What's coming up!
  • Expanding Form Builder - custom build any form you need
  • Mailing addresses
  • And so much more!
Customer Spotlight: Steven Antonio, Director of Family Engagement
"I have been in ministry for over ten years. I love Salem's community and the mission of Mary, Queen of the Apostles (MQOA).

This last year has been a great obstacle but also a blessing in evangelizing and forming disciples. The pandemic has enabled us to open a new permanent online "door." This door allows us to reach beyond the city limits and allows our community to invite family and friends outside of Salem to experience MQOA..."
Memorial Day Hours
Please note that our office will be closed Monday, May 31st, 2021. We look forward to resuming our normal Support Hours of 8 AM - 5 PM ET on Tuesday, June 1st.
