4-0! I love this deck!
Round 1: I had a bye since there were 21 people playing. A 22nd person came late, so him and I decided to play a friendly. He was playing Scepter of Secrets, and I crushed him 2-0. He got me down to 3 life game 1, then I just started to gain it all back from Myr tokens and the Soul Sisters. Game 2 was over really quick thanks to him being mana screwed and Champion of the Parish getting huge off Norin the Wary.
Round 2: 2-0 vs Storm. Game 1, I won the roll, he mulled to 6. Turn 1 Champion of the Parish, Turn 2 Soul Warden and Norin the Wary, Turn 3 Genesis Chamber and Soul's Attendant, Turn 4 Genesis Chamber, Soul Warden, Soul Warden...pretty brutal, considering he whiffed on the draw off his Manamorphose. Game 2 he sided out the majority of his storm cards for 4 Delver of Secrets Flip, 4 Goblin Guide, and 4 Grim Lavamancer... he put up a better fight in the second game, but I managed to Path to Exile his threats early enough to safely win.
Round 3: 2-0 vs Boros. Game 1, won the roll, played Norin, etc., he started off aggressive with a Goblin Guide into a turn 2 Steppe Lynx, but I managed to path the guide and Lightning Helix the lynx away. After that, it was smooth sailing, hitting a Mentor of the Meek and a Ranger of Eos off my next two draws. Game 2, he stalled out after turn 4, missing his next couple land drops. I gained a bunch of life and let Serra Ascendant win the game for me.
Round 4: 2-1 vs Dredgevine. Game 1, won the roll, got off to my typical start. Gained a bunch of life and myr tokens as he was "bolting" himself off fetch lands and shock lands. The lifegain and seemingly endless supply of myr proved to be too much for him, despite having 4 Vengevine and 4 Gravecrawler on the field. Game 2, I got off to a shaky start after having him turn 1 Faithless Looting, pitching two Vengevine, then playing a Birds of Paradise and Gravecrawler on the second turn. These shenanigans kept up for a couple more turns until what little defense I had crumbled. Game 3, he couldn't get a dredge enabler on board to save his life after I pathed his turn 1 Hedron Crab. I started to gain too much life for him to keep up, until he managed to Unburial Rites his Rakdos the Defiler, to which I promptly answered with a Path to Exile after he attacked.

If it's modern legal, you should definitely find room for Ajani's Pridemate.

I thought about Ajani's Pridemate, but decided against it because it isn't a human and won't trigger the Champion of the Parish.

Have you tried a singleton Chalice of Life? It may not fit in with the ETB effects but it can become another win condition given all the life gain.

I like it! I could see Infect ruining your day. A board swipe wouldn't be a bad idea, like Slagstorm.
I have a similar deck, kinda, called Generous Misgivings, HAHA!
