Reporting Xpress Resources

Reporting Xpress is our new reporting platform for the Archbishop's Annual Appeal.  It is a cloud-based solution that integrates seamlessly with Blackbaud’s Raiser's Edge NXT via API. The platform is very user-friendly and intuitive. Daily updates of pledge and gift information will provide you with an accurate and timely picture of your Annual Appeal status.  

You can access your parish dashboard at https://archatl.reportingxpress.org. Access to your parish’s information is limited to the pastor/administrator and those approved to see annual appeal data. Please contact Tracy Zelczak at tzelczak@archatl.com or 404-920-7606 or Alexus Delgado if you have any difficulty accessing your dashboard.

If you have questions about a report format or the data it contains, please contact Alexus Delgado at adelgado@archatl.com or 404-920-7610.

The FAQ document below contains frequently asked questions and includes instructions for adding or removing a user, updating passwords, downloading reports, and more.

Second Collections

Why Have a Second Collection?

Second collections are a stewardship learning moment.  As Catholics we are part of a universal Church that extends well beyond our own parish boundaries.  Jesus calls us to “make disciples of all nations” (Mt. 28:19).  The bishops in the United States created the national collections so that by combining our resources we can more effectively carry out our mission as Catholics.  Each of the collections is worthy of support and represents our community of faith at its best—working in the world, improving lives, and saving souls.

Please view these collections in the light of stewardship and sharing. God has given us our life and our prosperity; it is right and just that we give something back helping people in our own country and throughout the world. Thank you for your generous response!

If you need any additional graphics or information for your parish, please contact Francesca Lupinetti at flupinetti@archatl.com.
