Asking the office for a date
A family asks from the phone or the website; the answer comes back to them, with a reason when it is no.
Step by step
Step 1: The family asks
Head of familyon Ask the office
What it is for, the kind, which day, about what time, and anything the parish should know.
What the others see: It appears under “Dates asked for” and in “Waiting on you”.
Step 2: The vicar looks at the calendar
Vicaron Dates asked for
The request shows any clash with what is already on that day, and the clergy’s diary.
What the others see: The family sees “Waiting for the parish”.
Step 3: The vicar answers
Vicaron Dates asked for
Approve, propose another time, or decline with a reason.
What the others see: The family is told on their phone and sees “Approved” or “Not this time”, with the reason.
How it ends
An approved date is on the parish calendar, in “What is on”, without a phone call to the office.
