WeGather

What WeGather does

WeGather, operating commercially as ParishSOFT and held under the legal entity Ministry Brands LLC, provides a cloud-based, all-in-one church management software platform targeting Catholic parishes, dioceses, and schools in the United States. The platform is anchored by the Family Suite — an integrated product combining family records, online giving, and parish accounting — and extends across approximately 18 additional modules covering census, faith formation, ministry scheduling, facility calendars, safe-environment background screening, live streaming, websites, tuition management, diocesan CRM, diocesan accounting, development campaigns, and custom query/reporting. Underlying architecture is a multi-tenant SaaS platform with a native mobile application and web-based parishioner portal that share data across modules. The company monetizes through annual quote-based subscriptions tailored to parish or diocese size and module selection, supplemented by professional services for implementation, data migration, and ongoing consulting. Distribution is consultative, with direct field sales to parish priests, business managers, and diocesan administrators, supported by demo-driven conversion, customer testimonials, and content marketing such as the "Guide to Healthy Parish Operations" e-book. Founded in 2009 and based in New Berlin, Wisconsin, the company participated in the Techstars accelerator in 2010.
