To Whom It May Concern:
I have found the Mass Intention Software MIST to be a most comprehensive piece of software and totally suited to use in a parish setting. It not only keeps track of Mass Intentions, the donor, the stipend, etc. but the Ministry scheduling part of the software makes assigning individuals to the various parish ministries in schedule form comprehensive and east. I highly recommend this software to anyone who must keep track of Mass Intentions, stipends and ministry scheduling.
Sincerely,
Rev. Micah E. Kozoil, 724-785-7781 St. Peter Church 118 Church Street Brownsville, PA 15417-1710 |

Early this year, I was asked to take on the responsibility of the Mass list for our house. We are a house of Dominican Friars, both active and retired and our house has a rather complex situation. We have a parish church, a shrine, the priory chapel (for conventual Mass) along with chapels at which friars may celebrate private Masses. As you can imagine, I didn't know where to start and one night, when trying to figure out a way to computerize or setup, I did a Google for "catholic Mass intention software". There was only one hit that I could use and it was Ray Clar's program. I contacted Ray immediately and explained the outline of my situation. In addition, I use a Macintosh computer and Ray's program is for Windows OS. Ray put me in touch with a Dominican Church in San Francisco who used his software and whose situation is similar to ours (excepting the OS.) After some discussion with that church and more feedback for Ray, he provided me with what might work. I use Parallels and run a virtual Windows setup to run the software. The initial setup wasn't quite what I needed since I had failed to indicate some basic and essential things that I would need. I cannot say enough how responsive Ray has been. The software works fine and today, within less than one hour (and with parish demands interrupting), I was able to get all the church Masses and priory chapel Masses setup up through the first week of October. The setup now works as I need it to and at the end of the month, it is a simple thing to get the financial report done for all the chapel Masses, priory chapel Mass and Church Masses so that the money can be moved into the operating account. I'm still learning things that this program can do and it has made this part of my responsibility a bit more controllable. In addition to the software itself, the best part of this process has been Ray's willingness to help at all stages. He is very quick to respond to questions or problems I'm having and has the patience of a saint in helping me to learn some "Windows steps" that I, as a Macintosh user, have to learn. He has also been very responsive to changing parts of the software when it doesn't seem to do what I want or expect. I am very happy with this product. |

Dear Ray, I have only good things to say about the MIST software. It has helped us become more efficient in scheduling mass intentions. I use it to copy the mass intentions into our weekly bulletin which helps me to eliminate incorrect spellings of names. I am very happy with your support. You’ve adjusted the program to fit our specific needs whenever needed and have always returned my calls in a very timely manner.
Thanks Ray! Bettyanne |

I’m delighted that you’re continuing to develop your product since I think it’s invaluable…..The other day I needed to find an intention, and it was great to just do a search, instead of leafing through page after page looking for the name. Thanks!
