St. Paul’s Online, Interactive Directory
There’s no need to download anything- If you can use Facebook, you can use this new system. One might even say it will be… a breeze.
When you become a member of St. Paul's, an email is sent inviting you to Breeze. if you can't find that email and would like another invitation, fill out the form uusing the link above to request it.
With Breeze, each member has their own username and password. This is the most important reason we upgraded from the old system of posting a PDF directory on the website under a shared password. These days, that’s not responsible stewardship of our parishioners’ personal information. Lists like this are easy to steal and sell to unscrupulous marketing companies.
Breeze integrates with QuickBooks and takes online payments, which makes tracking pledges much easier for our treasurer—and for you.
There is only one problem with Breeze: it’s only as good as the data we put into it. The data we imported from our old system was sorely out-of-date and disorganized.
When you look yourself up, you may notice that your child is listed as your spouse, or the address we have on file from you has been out of date for three years. Maybe your name is even spelled wrong! We need your help cleaning up your entry so that our information is as up-to-date as possible.
What should I do first?
Look someone up!
Click the People tab at the top of the webpage.
Type a name into the search bar on the left, then type “enter” to search. Or scroll down until you find the person you’re looking for, and click on them.
Now you can see the person’s email address, phone number, and mailing address. You can also see other members of their household.
Now, try looking up yourself and your family members. What updating does your profile need? If you can upload a photo to help people get to know you, that would be a wonderful act of hospitality.
Check on your pledge!
Click the My Profile tab at the top of the webpage.
Click the Giving icon on the left of the webpage.
This page has two types of giving you can track: Giving (which is non-pledge donations) and Pledges. You can click between those two little tabs to look at details for each, and even export an Excel spreadsheet.
If you like learning from videos, here’s an introductory one from Breeze about your new account.
A very special thanks is due to Angelo Troiano, who worked hard to transition us from our old system and get us started on Breeze!
Questions? Concerns? Please reach out to the Wardens or to Angelo. We’re still learning the system alongside you. It can do lots more than act as a directory, and we’re excited to see how our use of Breeze can continue to grow as we use it.
