What parishioners can do in the portal

Once a parishioner claims their portal account, they can keep their own information current and take part — within tight privacy limits that protect everyone.

What they can do

• Update their contact details and preferred way of being reached.
• Set ministry availability — a preferred Mass, a monthly serve cap, and dates they cannot serve — which flows straight into scheduling.
• Request a Mass intention (see Online Mass intention requests).
• Update their address.

What they can never see

The portal shows a parishioner only their own information. Pastor's notes, care cases, Narthex messages, other people's contact details, and any staff or configuration screens are entirely walled off. Sign-in failures stay generic, never revealing whether an account exists.

Tips

• Portal sessions end after an hour for safety, so members re-sign-in periodically.
• Encouraging ministers to keep their own availability current is the single easiest way to make auto-fill produce clean schedules.
