Catholic Parish

This is a custom theme and companion plugin designed for Catholic parishes to create clear, structured websites. It is built for parish administrators, secretaries, and volunteers who need a straightforward, purpose-built solution without excessive complexity.

• Structured Content Types: The companion plugin provides custom post types for Announcements, Services, Newsletters, Parish Staff, and Church Groups, giving content a logical, parish-specific organization.
• Clean Architecture: Following best practices, core functionality is separated into a plugin, keeping presentation in the theme. This improves content portability and long-term site maintenance.
• Parish-Focused Features: Includes a contact page template with an integrated form, shortcodes for displaying parish details like phone and address, and a dedicated settings page for managing this information.
• Admin Onboarding: A custom Parish Setup Guide admin page helps non-technical users configure their site, with clear instructions for entering essential parish information.
• Built-in Security: The code includes input sanitization, output escaping, and nonce verification for forms and meta boxes, addressing common security concerns in website management.
