The Catholic giving life, simplified

Generic donation platforms don't know what a second collection is. They've never heard of an annual appeal. Catholic Charities, Bishop's Annual, Peter's Pence — these are first-class categories in AloraChurch.

📅

Roman liturgical calendar

Every feast, every solemnity, every memorial — pre-loaded with appropriate giving prompts. Christmas, Easter, Pentecost, Marian feasts, patron saints, holy days of obligation.

🪙

Sunday Collection + second collections

Sunday Collection as the regular giving line. Second collections (Catholic Charities, Bishop's Annual, Peter's Pence, Missions, Building Fund, retirement for religious) tracked separately with their own targeting and reporting.

🎓

Catholic schools giving

Parish school tuition assistance funds. Diocesan school annual appeals. Scholarship endowments. Vocations support. The structures that fund Catholic education — built for them.

🌹

Marian and saint observances

Patronal feast day campaigns for the parish's patron saint. Marian month appeals. Saint observance offerings. Devotional categories acknowledged.

⛓️

Diocesan structures supported

Multi-parish dioceses can run as a federated multi-brand setup — each parish operates independently with its own donor base, while diocesan central admin sees aggregate reporting. Bishop's Annual Appeal flows centrally with parish-level attribution.

📜

Annual contribution letters

Year-end contribution letters generated automatically — for parishioners to claim their tax deduction. Per-jurisdiction tax info (US 501(c)(3), UK Gift Aid, CA, AU).

Diocesan structures + parish autonomy

A diocese runs many parishes. Each parish operates independently with its own donor data, its own vocabulary, its own staff. The diocese sees aggregate reporting across all parishes — but never sees individual parish donor data. Architecture, not convention.

🏛️

Bishop's Annual Appeal

Diocesan-wide appeal with parish-level credit. Parishioners give to the appeal; their parish gets the credit toward its target. Real-time progress thermometer at every parish and at the diocese.

Parish-level isolation

Each parish operates as its own platform under your diocesan umbrella. Same email registers separately at each parish. No cross-parish discovery.

📊

Diocesan aggregate reporting

The diocese sees totals across all parishes — by collection type, by season, by parish size. No individual parishioner data crosses parish boundaries.
