Steps to Set Up Relig Ed Program in the RE Module : Parish Support

To begin - all of your families with children in the RE program need to be families in your church. If you have students who are members of another parish, but taking RE courses at your parish you will need to "pull them over" into your church as RE Only families.

This is what we refer to as “pulling a family over”

Search for the family (parents) of the student using All Statuses, All Churches. Select the students family. Click the Churches tab, Click +Add to Church, Search for or scroll down to select your parish, click your parish to add your parish to their churches. They will appear as New Register status. You can now select the family status that defines your parish relationship with the family, i.e. Religious Ed, Sacrament Only, seasonal, etc. Once you've added your church, you can work with the family and members in the same way you work with Active families. Leave the family registered with their current church. (If the family is asking to be active and registered at your parish, check the circle next to your church, and make the family status Active)
