Enhancing Reservation and Record Efficiency thru Parish Management System

This study develops and evaluates a Church Management System for Saint Isidore Parish in Biabas, Ubay, Bohol, designed to address inefficiencies in manual reservation and record-keeping processes. Traditional paper-based methods have led to scheduling conflicts, delays, and data loss, creating challenges for parish staff and parishioners. The proposed system integrates online sacrament reservations, Basic Ecclesial Community (BEC) monitoring, and centralized record management. Using a user-centered design approach, the system was evaluated for usability, accessibility, and efficiency. Findings highlight significant improvements in accuracy, reduced administrative workload, and enhanced parishioner satisfaction. By aligning with theories of Integrated Marketing Communications, User-Centered Design, and Diffusion of Innovation, the study demonstrates how digital transformation can modernize church operations. The Saint Isidore Parish Management System provides a scalable model for other parishes seeking to improve service delivery and operational efficiency.
