Frequently Asked Questions
I forgot my password. What do I do?
Realm has an automated password reset feature. Click here to reset your password.
Is Realm secure?
Realm is safe, private, and secure. Realm is not a social network open to anyone; our online community is only made up of the people in our parish. Realm is a part of ACS Technologies, which is the largest provider of church database software and uses bank level, 128-bit encryption.
Who can see my information?
Only members of St. Paul’s who have been invited to join Realm may log in. Your information is never public or searchable on the Internet. Within St. Paul’s, you have complete control over who can see your contact and personal information. Any information you elect to make visible to our church community is always protected behind a password-required login.
Who can see my child’s information?
For safety reasons, sharing contact and personal information for children under 18 is limited. Parents determine whether or not to display their child’s name in the church directory.
Who can see my financial information?
Your financial information is only visible to you, our Rector, and our Parish Administrator. Some authorized staff members have access to other information associated with your profile (e.g. baptism dates, phone numbers), but they cannot view your financials.
Who should I ask for help?
Send a message to info@stpaulsfay.org and we’ll be glad to help.
