MiaChiesaReport a catechism absence
Let the catechist know your child will miss one or more meetings, with the reason and an optional note.
Open your child’s page
Open Catechism and your child’s page. Under Upcoming meetings you see the group calendar; meetings you already reported show the reason. Select Report an absence (on a phone Absence).
Choose meetings and reason
Under For which meetings? select one or more meetings. Choose Excused absence or Just absent; for an excused absence pick the reason (Illness, Family commitment, Travelling, Sport / school, Other).
Add a Note for the catechist if you like: the catechist and parish leaders read it, not other parents.
Send
Select Send report: Absence reported appears and the group staff get a notification. From the child’s page you can still edit or cancel the report until the meeting has passed.
What the catechist sees
In the attendance register the absence shows as Reported by the parent, with reason and note: the catechist does not need to ask you again.
What you have achieved
- The catechist knows about the absence and its reason in advance.
- The report stays editable until the meeting.
Troubleshooting
I can’t see Report an absence
There are no upcoming meetings or the enrollment is not confirmed yet.
I see “No meetings to report”
You already reported all scheduled meetings. You can edit them from the child’s page.
Can I report a past meeting?
No: reports apply only to upcoming meetings.
