MiaChiesaFollow your child’s catechism path
From the child’s page see meetings and attendance, read the catechist’s messages, manage the fee and ask for a group change.
Open your child’s page
Open Catechism in the app and select your child. At the top you see the group, the catechist and Attendance, with the percentage and the meetings attended; Add to calendar saves the next meeting. Upcoming meetings lists the dates.
Read messages and materials
The Messages button takes you to Messages and materials: here are the catechist’s messages, with attachments to open. Further up, the attendance register shows attendance and absences meeting by meeting.
Fee and refund request
In Fee you see the amount and its status; if you paid by card you can use Download receipt. If the fee is still due, Fee payment appears with Pay now, or the notice Confirmation first, then the fee if the community still has to confirm the enrolment.
To ask for a paid fee back select Ask for a refund, explain why and select Send the request: Request sent to the parish appears. Refunds are not automatic: the community decides.
Ask to change group
While the year’s enrolment is open, Change group opens Request a group change. Choose the New group, add a Reason (optional) and select Send request. Until the leaders decide, the button reads Request pending.
What you have achieved
- You know when the meetings are and how attendance is going.
- You have read the catechist’s messages and handled the fee, a refund or a group change.
Troubleshooting
I can’t see Change group
It appears only while the year’s enrolment is open and if the community lets families choose the group directly.
I see “There are no other groups available right now.”
No other group is taking enrolments now: ask the catechist.
I see “The request could not be sent.”
The refund request did not go out: try again later.
I see “Receipt not available right now.”
Try again later or ask the community office for the receipt.
