For UK Catholic churches
Church management software for Catholic churches
Parish admin and registers without the spreadsheet sprawl — for UK Catholic parishes
Catholic parishes manage parish registers (baptisms, confirmations, marriages), sacramental preparation programmes, weekly Mass attendance, and Gift Aid claims to HMRC. Most run this on a mix of paper, a parish secretary's spreadsheet, and ad-hoc envelopes. MosesTab consolidates all of that — parish registers, sacramental prep, weekly giving, Gift Aid, and GDPR — into one platform that's compliant with UK law and the Charity Commission.

- Charity Commission annual return data ready
Why MosesTab fits
- Parish secretary keeps registers in one searchable place

- Diocesan returns prefilled from existing data
Frequently asked questions
Does MosesTab keep parish registers?
Yes — baptisms, confirmations, first communions, marriages, and funerals each have dedicated record types with the canonical fields, parents/sponsors, dates, and officiant. They're searchable and exportable.
How does Gift Aid work for Catholic parishes?
Same as for any UK charity. Donors sign a declaration; MosesTab generates an HMRC Charities Online CSV; you upload it through the Government Gateway. Donations from envelopes, Direct Debit, card, and one-off gifts are all included if the donor has an active declaration covering the donation date.
Is this approved by my diocese?
MosesTab isn't endorsed by any specific diocese — it's a generic UK church management platform. Each parish chooses its own tools. We're happy to walk through compliance with diocesan finance officers on request.
