How clusters (multi-parish) work

A cluster lets one team serve several parishes from a single sign-in, while each parish keeps its own data separate and intact.

The cluster home

• After signing in, you see a cluster home that rolls up each parish's day — birthdays, care, approvals, Masses, and celebrants across all of them.
• A parish switcher sets which parish you are working in; everything you do then applies to that parish.

Shared staff

Cluster staff can be shared across the member parishes, so a secretary or priest serving the whole cluster signs in once and works in each parish without separate accounts.

What stays separate

Each parish's records live in that parish — the cluster home shows roll-ups and lets you drill in, but it never mixes one parish's data into another.

Tips

• Your cluster sign-in is distinct from a single-parish login; it authorizes you only for your cluster's parishes.
• Use the roll-ups to spot what needs attention across parishes, then switch in to act.
