About OCM
We Believe the Church Deserves Better
Better financial tools. Deeper community connection. And a business model that gives back to the communities it serves. That's what OCM is building.
Our Story
Born from a Simple Question
Why does the Church — one of the oldest and most important institutions in the world — have to rely on fragmented, outdated financial tools that were never built for its unique needs?
Parish business managers juggle five different systems. Diocese CFOs wait weeks for consolidated reports. Donors have no idea whether their gifts reached the right fund. And the software vendors serving the Church have no incentive to care about the mission beyond their contract renewal.
OCM was founded by Catholics to change this. Our name — On Christ's Mission — is rooted in Opera Corporalia Misericordiae, the Latin for the Corporal Works of Mercy. That's not just branding — it's our reason for existing. We're building a unified platform — financial operating system, parishioner engagement app, and charitable foundation — with a business model that permanently aligns our success with the Church's mission.
When parishes adopt OCM, 10% of the profits generated by their community are tithed into a local charitable subsidiary of OCM Foundation. This means the software doesn't just serve the parish — it funds the Corporal Works of Mercy in the parish's own neighborhood.
Mission & Values
What Drives Us
Mission Alignment Over Revenue
We build for the Church, not for investors. Every product decision is weighed against its impact on parishes, parishioners, and local communities. Our tithe model ensures our financial success is permanently tied to community impact.
Subsidiarity in Practice
We believe the people closest to a problem should solve it. That's why OCM Foundation subsidiaries are local, advised by local leaders, and focused on local needs. We provide the funding and infrastructure — communities provide the wisdom.
Transparency as Default
Every dollar that flows through OCM is tracked, reported, and auditable. We believe donors deserve to know where their gifts go, pastors deserve to know their financial position, and dioceses deserve real-time visibility.
Dignity in Technology
We build tools that respect the dignity of every user — from the business manager learning a new system to the parishioner making their first online gift to the family receiving assistance from the local foundation.
