Holy Cross Catholic Center · Chaplain Dashboards

The unified platform from a college chaplain's seat

Different persona, different shape from the parish pastor. The chaplain at a Catholic college runs a small high-leverage team, not a sprawling parish, and the academic semester drives the rhythm — not the liturgical year. He has visibility into students that no parish ever has (academic schedule, year-in-school, formation cohorts), and an explicit measurement need around spiritual multipliers — students who go from being mentored to becoming mentors.

The persona for this gallery:

Active reach: ~280 students engaged out of ~600 Catholic students on campus. Spring 2026 · week 12 of 15. The mockups below show six dashboards: the chaplain's daily landing, FOCUS missionary oversight (with the federated-reporting nuance called out), the student roster with engagement signals, Bible studies health (16 studies running this semester), one FOCUS missionary's personal dashboard, and a major-event manager for the upcoming spring break mission.

Intersections with existing code: the underlying schema needs no new tables. organizations.org_type = 'university' plus parish_org_settings.org_subtype = 'newman_center' identifies a campus center. Bible studies are helper_encounters with subject_kind = 'group_session'; 1-on-1 discipleship is the same with subject_kind = 'direct_session'. FOCUS missionaries get a custom_role_slug = 'focus_missionary' via organization_custom_roles; staff coordinators get 'coordinator'. The federated-reporting to FOCUS HQ is a separate downstream export, not a different data model.

Six dashboards

Captions explain what's different from the parish version and what existing code primitives each screen builds on.

Chaplain's Today
Fr. Patrick's daily seat at Holy Cross
The chaplain lands on a delegation-first view scoped to 6 people, not 60. Left side: his team table with staff (maroon avatars) clearly distinguished from FOCUS missionaries (gold avatars) by a "Type" column. Each person shows their capacity (load bar), domain pulse, and status pill. John (FOCUS) is over capacity at 14/12 disciples with pulse dropping 6.8 — actionable. Right side: today's actual schedule (daily Mass at 9, student appointment at 11, FOCUS lunch at 12:30, confessions at 2, staff 1-on-1s, evening adoration). Below the schedule: a small "Recent feedback" stream pulling pulse comments from the last 24 hours. Top KPI strip is sized for the small-scale reality (284 active students, 16 studies, 45 disciples, mission registration count).
Differences from the parish view: the semester pill in the top nav ("Spring 2026 · Week 12 of 15") replaces the parish's liturgical-week framing. Team is 6 people, not 60. FOCUS missionaries get a visible badge because they report to FOCUS HQ as well as locally. The "today's office" widget is much more personal than a parish pastor's — the chaplain sees individual students by name. The KPI scale (284, 16, 45) reflects a center with high engagement per student rather than a parish with thousands of nominal members.

FOCUS Missionary Oversight
Co-reporting to the chaplain and to FOCUS HQ
Four embedded FOCUS missionaries, each accountable to two reporting lines. The chaplain sees the team table with their cohort focus (Anna/freshman women, John/sophomore-junior men, etc.), Bible study load, 1-on-1 disciple count, GSRS for their groups, and — uniquely — their multipliers: students who went from being discipled by them to discipling other students. The gold callout at top is the headline number FOCUS HQ cares about: 14 spiritual multipliers this year, beating target. The federated badge in the corner is honest about the data sharing: a 4-hour-stale export feeds FOCUS HQ. The bottom-right "FOCUS HQ contract metrics" panel mirrors what FOCUS field directors care about — spiritual multipliers, student-led groups, active disciples — so the chaplain can speak FOCUS's language without context-switching to a separate FOCUS portal.
Federated reporting nuance: FOCUS missionaries report locally to Fr. Patrick (their host) AND nationally to FOCUS regional leadership (their employer). The dashboard handles this by running a scheduled export of FOCUS-relevant metrics to FOCUS HQ's data pipeline, with the export status visible to the chaplain. Code intersection: the multiplier metric is a derived query over parish_membership_extras.based_on_role transitions + helper_encounters where the student moved from group_session.subject to group_session.leader. The federated export is the existing broadcasts/email_logs machinery applied to a system-to-system integration.

Student Engagement Roster
Every student visible · everyone who's drifting is flagged
The chaplain or any staff member can pull up the active student list. Filter chips include the parish ones (year, status) plus campus-specific ones: RCIA / Confirmation cohort, Multipliers, Disengaging. The wellbeing trend column is a sparkline of the student's last 8 weeks of engagement signals — daily Mass attendance, Bible study presence, 1-on-1 frequency, Adoration sign-ups, pulse responses — rolled into a per-student wellbeing index. Three rows are visibly flagged: Jacob Nguyen (rose) — sophomore, was John's, stopped showing up 20 days ago, sparkline plummeting; Emma Walsh (warm) — junior, was in Anna's group, paused 1-on-1 after a grief event, sparkline crashing then leveling at a low base. The chaplain or the missionary can act on these immediately. Sarah Edwards shows the success archetype: a senior who is now leading her own Bible study with 5 disciples — a multiplier.
Distinct from parish: the parish roster doesn't have year-in-school or RCIA cohort cuts — those are campus-specific. The wellbeing index is a cross-cutting metric that doesn't exist in parish dashboards because parish engagement is much harder to measure (people don't sign in to Mass). On a college campus, Mass attendance is recordable via kiosk at the chapel door + mobile self-checkin, so the data is there. Code intersection: parishioners table stores student records; year-in-school + RCIA status live in parish_membership_extras.allowed_modules + a new student_year text column on the same sidecar. The wellbeing index is a server-side rollup over attendance_records, helper_encounters, and measurements — same pattern as the parish activity report, scoped by student.

Bible Studies Health · Semester View
16 studies running this semester · 9 of them student-led
The chaplain's view of the Bible study landscape. 16 studies, 142 student-members, avg GSRS 8.1, 87% retention. Crucially: 56% of studies are student-led — this is the multiplier engine working. Each card shows the leader, the curriculum (Acts of Apostles, Theology of the Body, Bible Timeline, etc.), GSRS score with 6-session sparkline, members + retention. Two flagged groups visible: Tuesday Sophomore Men (John's) — GSRS dropped to 6.8, lost 3 of 9 members (matches the chaplain's earlier signal that John is stretched); Thursday Faith Seekers (Ben's) — GSRS 5.7, lost 5 of 8 members, retention 38% (a struggling student-led group — Ben might need mentoring himself).
The student-led ratio matters more on a campus than in a parish. A FOCUS missionary leading 5 studies maxes out their personal capacity at ~25 students. A student-led group multiplies the capacity for free. The "student-led ratio" KPI tells the chaplain (and FOCUS HQ) whether the multiplier engine is working. Code intersection: Bible studies are helper_encounters with subject_kind = 'group_session'. The student-led tag is derived from helper_encounters.leader_user_id existing in organization_custom_roles with slug = 'student_leader' vs 'focus_missionary'. GSRS measurements are the existing Phase 2 instrument seed.

FOCUS Missionary's Personal Dashboard
Anna's daily seat · her 12 disciples + 5 studies
Anna logs in. Her dashboard is scoped exactly to her ministry. Four KPIs sized to her load (12 disciples / 5 studies / 4 multipliers / 9 of 12 1-on-1s done this week). The sage callout in the middle highlights what FOCUS would call her "shepherding pipeline" — 4 disciples she's actively shaping toward leading their own groups next year (Sarah graduating to year-of-service, Maya being received Easter, Olivia + Christina freshmen taking on leadership). Below: her 12 disciples list with what they're each working on (Sarah · discernment, Maya · Easter prep, Christina · Carmelite spirituality, Emma · grieving, Katherine · discerning leadership). One disciple flagged (Emma — paused 2 weeks ago after her uncle's death; Anna's note is to "reach out gently"). The chaplain's dashboard pools this same data; Anna's view is the missionary's at-her-desk reality.
A FOCUS missionary's dashboard is fundamentally shepherding software — keeping track of 12 named individuals, their spiritual state, what they're discerning, what they're hurting through, when she's next seeing them. The pulse data underneath rolls up to the chaplain and to FOCUS HQ as aggregates, but in Anna's view it's all personal and named. Code intersection: "My disciples" is a query against helper_encounters where leader_user_id = anna.id and subject_kind = 'direct_session'. Working-on notes are session-note attachments. The shepherding pipeline calculation joins disciples with parish_membership_extras.based_on_role showing the upcoming role transition.

Retreat & Event Manager
8 days out from the spring break mission
Megan (coordinator) runs this; Fr. Patrick reviews. The maroon hero card carries the headline numbers — 37/50 registered, 8.7 pre-mission pulse, departure date — with a fundraising progress bar (70% of target). Below: fundraising / forms collected / logistics / last year's post-pulse (9.0 — "life-changing" pattern). Roster table shows who's registered with their year, disciple-of-which-FOCUS, and any pending forms (Lucas Park's medical waiver still outstanding). Right side: pre-mission preparation timeline + the planned post-mission pulse cadence (Mission GSRS at +0, +7, +30, +90 days) + a multiplier-impact survey for students Megan + Fr. Patrick think might lead next year — "did the mission shift your willingness to lead?"
Different from a parish event: college mission trips are anchor moments in a student's spiritual life. The post-mission pulse cadence is unusually long (90 days out) because the spiritual impact often hits weeks after returning. The multiplier-impact survey is the key FOCUS metric the chaplain cares about — which mission attendees will become next year's group leaders. Code intersection: events are special_events in the consolidated baseline. Registration is signup_form_signups with the event's form. Fundraising integrates with Stripe Connect for donations. Pre/post pulses are the existing pulse_invitations primitive with two new instruments — Pre-Mission Readiness and Post-Mission Impact — added to the seeded set.

Five signature workflows from a chaplain's seat

Reading the screens as user journeys — what each persona does in 60 seconds at Holy Cross.

1The chaplain runs his small team, not a parish

Fr. Patrick opens Today and sees 6 people he can see by name (2 staff + 4 FOCUS) plus a small group of urgent items. John is over capacity. The mission is short of registrations. Two RCIA candidates are waiting on James. The whole team table fits on one screen. He clicks "Help John" — opens a conversation. Total time: 90 seconds. The same time on a parish dashboard would have shown him a list 10× longer; a chaplain's team is smaller and that's the design.

2FOCUS missionaries are visible AND federated

The FOCUS Oversight screen is the structurally novel piece. FOCUS missionaries report to both the chaplain locally and FOCUS regional leadership nationally. The dashboard supports this honestly: the chaplain sees his 4 missionaries' work, the multiplier metric FOCUS cares about, and a status indicator showing the latest data export to FOCUS HQ. This is the federated-org pattern — one user belongs to two reporting structures. The product doesn't pretend they don't; it handles them.

3Every student has a sparkline

The roster gives Fr. Patrick (and Megan, and the FOCUS team) a per-student wellbeing trend. Jacob Nguyen's sparkline crashed three weeks ago — the system can flag it. Emma Walsh's sparkline cratered around her uncle's death. Sarah Edwards's sparkline rises through her senior year as she becomes a multiplier. The roster surfaces names that need attention before the next semester reveals that nobody noticed. On a parish dashboard the same view would show 2000 rows; here it shows 284, and that's its own form of intimacy.

4Bible studies are the engine, GSRS is the gauge

16 studies running. 9 of them student-led — that's the multiplier engine. Two flagged this week: John's struggling sophomore men, Ben's faith-seekers group with retention dropped to 38%. The chaplain knows in 10 seconds which ones need a check-in. The GSRS is the same instrument that runs on parish small groups — campus context is just denser. The student-led ratio is the campus-specific KPI: a higher percentage means the multiplier engine is working.

5The mission is measured before, during, and 90 days after

Spring break mission isn't a one-time event — it's an anchor that reshapes a student's spiritual trajectory. The Mission Manager dashboard plans the pulse cadence accordingly: pre-departure readiness, day-0 post-return, day-7, day-30, day-90 (the long tail of impact). The multiplier-impact survey on a chosen subset asks the strategic question — "did this mission shift your willingness to lead?" That's how the chaplain knows two months out whether the $12,000 he raised converted into next year's student-led Bible study leaders.

The defensibility argument from a chaplain's seat

FOCUS HQ has their own reporting tools. Most Catholic colleges use spreadsheets. Mindspirit has clinical software. None of them measure spiritual multipliers as the core engagement metric while ALSO tracking individual student wellbeing while ALSO supporting the federated FOCUS-and-college reporting structure. The unified product is the only place a chaplain can run his ministry from one dashboard and have it speak both languages.
