Set up your parish workspace
Welcome to Cathedra Manager. This guide walks you through the essential steps to get your workspace up and running from day one — from sign-up to parish configuration.
Step 1: Create your account
- Go to cathedra-manager.com and click Create a free account.
- Enter your email address and choose a password (minimum 12 characters, with an uppercase letter, a number and a special character).
- Check your inbox: a verification link has been sent. It expires after 48 hours.
- Click the link to validate your address and continue the sign-up process.
Step 2: Enter your parish information
Once your email is verified, the sign-up wizard guides you through four screens:
- Your account — first name, last name, phone number.
- Your parish — parish name, address, diocese.
- Contact details — contact information displayed on your documents (receipts, sacrament records).
- Your plan — choose your offer or start for free. You can upgrade at any time.
Step 3: Access your dashboard
- After finalisation, you are redirected to your dashboard.
- Check the Getting started widget (bottom right): it gives you a checklist of priority actions to configure your workspace.
Step 4: Complete your parish profile
- In Settings → Parish, add your logo (it will appear on all your PDFs).
- Check your bank details if you use the Finance module.
- Set the interface language (French / English).
Your account always starts on the Free plan. If you chose a paid plan during sign-up, you will be redirected to secure Stripe payment — your workspace will be activated upon confirmation.
