Vacation Bible School July 31- August 4. Info in gathering space. Added link to the event on the home page, and updated the image to be the one Samantha provided.
Updated the VBS Registration JotForm. Took a long time since I needed to create two, one for pre-registrations and one for new. Reason is, if someone already filled out a form and are editing it to make payment now that the cost is known, I discovered that payments on an edited form is disabled. I directed all early registrations to a new form for payment and new registrations can use the existing form. The existing form has been modified to contain new pricing, dates, times and theme. Tables in jotform allow you to send custom email to people that submitted forms, so I used that to let all pre-registrants know about the date/time/theme, and how to pay.
5/1:

Once subscribe is working, will publicize.
4/5:
Updated name, removed comma
Msgr prefers: Mary Mother of God Church

Please let me know of items in this section of the flocknote you would like to have added or removed for your ministries
Hispanic Community - could you look over the online volunteer form and let me know what I should adjust, or add. I cannot remove content as the form is shared by both English and Spanish communities, but I can add, or modify what is there.
The General Mary Mother of God Church Calendar will be referred to as the MMoG Calendar
RESERVING SPACE:
To reserve space prior to knowing all the details for an event, it should be added to the Private Events Calendar. It should then be moved to the appropriate calendar once all the details are ready.
To reserve space for an event that requires setup, manning the event and clean up after - In General:
Create one event on the appropriate ministry's calendar and reserve all spaces needed from start of setup through cleanup
If the actual event is open to the public, then on the MMoG Calendar create an entry that is just for the time that the actual event is taking place
Example: Pancake Dinner:
On the Rosary Altar Society Calendar you would create:
Event: Pancake Dinner - HSH/Kitchen - Setup through Cleanup
Date: March 4 - Time: 3:00PM - 8:00PM
Reserve HSH and HSH Kitchen
On the MMoG Calendar you would create:
Event: Pancake Dinner - HSH
Date: March 4 - Time: 5:00PM - 7:00PM
NO ROOM RESERVATION needed on this calendar since that is already taken care of.
Exceptions: It may be that an event lasts all weekend and needs certain rooms at certain times. Of course you would not want to then have one event that reserves all needed rooms for the entire event.
AUDIENCE FOR VARIOUS CALENDARS:
MMoG Calendar:
everyone at MMoG, plus any visitors, anyone in the area that might be interested in what is happening at our church - the General Population - would view the calendar
Should not contain events for closed groups that require joining,
Alerts and Highlights:
These are alerts for everyone - Preschool closings, CCD closings, Office being closed, Adoration canceled, ...
Away Calendar - Restricted Access Calendar:
for the office, clergy away status
Funeral & Memorial Masses/Services Calendar:
All public Funeral or Memorial Masses/Services
Private Funerals or Memorial Masses/Services can be placed on the Private Events Calendar in addition to the Priest Calendar if desired, but not necessary, as long as rooms are reserved on either calendar.
Hispanic Events Calendar:
Masses, Events, Meetings, that are for the Hispanic Community
Ministry/Group/Other Calendar:
events that are not open to everyone, events that are for a specific ministry or group
Preschool/KE, Religious Ed, Rosary Altar and Youth Group, have their own calendars, their events should not be listed on this calendar.
Offsite Activities:
used to display when we have offsite events - i.e. Youth Group retreat, and also to highlight offsite events that might be of interest to our parish - i.e. Diocesan Events, events are churches around us.
Plant Management -Restricted Access Calendar:
has not been used, but it should be used by facilities to track maintenance.
Private Events - only viewable by staff - needed to be able to book rooms for these events.
Children's Religious Ed Calendar:
Contains Religous Ed classes and any special events: Confirmation, 1st Holy Communion, Penance Services, Home School meetings, retreats, ...
Dcn Chris likes to have the special events on the MMoG Calendar as well.
Special Events should be duplicated to the School (Rooms) Calendar and room reservations for special events should go there.
Respect Life Calendar:
for Respect Life events - managed by the Respect Life Group
Rosary Altar Society Calendar:
All Rosary Altar Society Events
Rosary Altar Society fundraisers should go on the MMoG Calendar for the event itself, and on the Rosary Altar Society Calendar for the event, setup and cleanup, plus room reservations.
School Calendar:
Contains Preschool, PreK, and KE classes and events.
Special events should be duplicated to the School (Rooms) Calendar and room reservations for special events should go there.
School (Rooms) Calendar - Restricted Access Calendar:
For the protection of the students, the school staff requested that their calendar not show room information. All school and religious events should be duplicated to this calendar and the room reservations needed should be made here.
Youth Group:
for Youth Group specific events.
Events such as offsite retreats should be on their Youth Group Calendar, and may also be added to the Offsite Activities Calendar as well, but no room reserved. The only reason to add it to the Offsite Activities Calendar would be so that the general population would be aware that the Youth Group was doing something special and perhaps keep them in prayer.
Youth Group fundraisers should go on the MMoG Calendar for the event itself, and on the Youth Group Calendar for the event, setup and cleanup, plus room reservations.
