How to create a My Own Church account

1. Ask your church administrator for the website address or find it here: (web address). Usually, it follows the pattern of diocese.parishsoftfamilysuite.com where 'diocese' is the name of the diocese to which your church belongs.
2. On the login page, click the New User Link.
3. Fill in the information. You will be prompted to follow certain requirements:
   • The username may be numbers and/or characters only and must be 5-20 digits long.
   • All fields with a red asterisk are required.
   • Make sure to use a valid email address as your login credentials will be emailed to you using that address.
   • The information you use on this form will also be used to populate information on your family record.
4. Submit the form, read and agree to the terms of use, and exit the site.
5. Look for the email where you will find your username and a temporary password.
   • Please note: Your church administrator will manage the account registration.
     • If you don't receive an email with your login credentials in a prompt manner, contact your church administrator. 
     • If you contact support, they will refer you to your church administrator since they don't have access to manage the account.
6. Go back to the login page and use these new credentials to log into your account. Sometimes it works better to copy and paste the password, but other times you must carefully type it in.
7. On the next page, you must create a new password. The password must be 8 digits long and contain at least one special character. Acceptable special characters are usually those above the number keys at the top of your keyboard.
8. There are some notices you must agree to in order to move forward. For more information on navigation, see How to navigate My Own Church.
