of the Roman Catholic Church

The Chancellor is the primary archivist, record keeper, ecclesial notary, and safeguards all the official diocesan documents.  This would include copyright, legal records, policy, sacramental records, etc.  This also includes overseeing official publications of the diocese, whether in print or electronic, e.g. website, and matters of record retention.  The archives of the diocese are part of the responsibilities of the Chancellor, and our Director of Archives reports to the Chancellor.

Additionally, in the Diocese of Salt Lake City, the Chancellor oversees our Property Division and is the primary contact for real estate transactions, Chancery and Pastoral Center physical plant maintenance and upkeep, and fleet vehicle management.

ParishSOFT is a church management software application used in every parish, school, mission, and other ministries throughout the entire Diocese of Salt Lake City.  This software allows us to centralize our electronic records and keep secure our data.  Employees may contact Kersten Dowling (above) for Diocesan ParishSOFT support, or ParishSOFT.com directly.
