Realm frequently asked questions
What is Realm and why is St. Peter's using it?
Most churches (St. Peter's included) have used computer programs for many years to store and access your contact information. Among other things, this information is used by pastoral care staff to contact you, but is also used to generate our St. Peter's printed directory.
St. Peter's previously used ChurchWatch, but switched over to Realm in 2021.
