The study aims to support the Strategic Information Systems Plan (SISP) of the Diocese of Cubao through the design and development of a centralized Information System for its parishes to address the issues on their traditional system such as spending much time searching for information, generating reports, and loss of valuable records. The researchers validated those issues through conducting interviews and observations. By implementing iterative approach in system development, a prototype named “Centralized Parish Record and Information Management System”, has been developed and simulated.
