In an important step towards the modernization and optimization of pastoral management, the Diocese of San Juan Bautista of Calama has announced its official incorporation to the parish management software Ecclesiared. This development represents a significant change in the way in which the parishes of the diocese manage their activities, records and attention to the faithful, thus marking a major step in the history of the local ecclesial community.
The implementation of Ecclesiared will enable the parishes of the diocese to centralize and digitize key processes, such as the administration of sacraments, the management of parish books, the organization of activities and events, and communication with the faithful or between parishes. This system, recognized worldwide by many dioceses for its effectiveness and ease of use, provides pastors with a practical tool that helps them to optimize their time and focus more on their pastoral work.
The bishop of the diocese, Monsignor Tomás Abel Carrasco Cortés, expressed his enthusiasm for this development, highlighting the great step that joining Ecclesiared means for improving the administrative management of parishes and the improvement that this will mean for each community.
Benefits for parish priests and parishioners
For parish priests, Ecclesiared represents a valuable support in their day-to-day work, as it facilitates quick access to information, allows an orderly control of activities and helps to plan more effectively. In addition, this software improves internal communication between parishes and the diocese, promoting a more coordinated work.
As for the faithful, this change means a substantial improvement in the attention they receive, since they will be able to access procedures and services more quickly and efficiently. Where previously the faithful had to wait days to obtain a document such as a baptismal certificate, thanks to Ecclesiared, parish priests will be able to search and locate any certificate in just a few seconds, thus reducing waiting times and improving and producing a closer relationship between the community and their parish.
Towards a more modern and connected Church
With this breakthrough, the Diocese of San Juan Bautista de Calama is at the forefront in the adoption of technologies at the service of pastoral work. The implementation of Ecclesiared will not only strengthen the internal organization, but will also facilitate the evangelizing mission of the Church, adapting it to the challenges and opportunities of the present times.
The entry of the diocese led by Monsignor Tomás Abel Carrasco in Ecclesiared follows in the footsteps of many other dioceses in the Chilean country that already work with the renowned software and have seen in recent years how their organization, data protection and service to the faithful has taken an important qualitative leap, strengthening even more if possible their dedication and love for the Church of Christ.
