Sacrament Tool Fields
Different fields display for each sacrament type you select. Here's additional information on some of the fields you'll see in the tool.
For more on this feature as a whole, see Sacraments.
- Copy Shared Sacrament Details to Next Record
- When adding or editing a group of records, you can copy the common information to subsequent records, including Date of Sacrament, Date Accuracy, Sacrament Registry Volume and Page, Name of Celebrant, and Name of Parish Where Sacrament Occurred. Specific sacraments have additional shared details. These are editable on individual records so you can make changes if needed.
- Date Accuracy
- Indicates how accurate the Date of Sacrament is. This is useful in cases where you only know a partial date; for example, historical records only show the month and year. In that case, you can enter the date as "04/01/1942" and select "Month/Year" for the accuracy to indicate that only April 1942 is known for sure.
- <Sacrament> Verified
- Indicates that the sacrament was verified by staff, when needed for your purposes.
- Add a File
- Attach any files related to the sacrament that you want to track, such as a copy of the certificate. You can upload up to 20 MB per file.
- Create New Contact
- There's a search icon in the Name of Celebrant, Mother's Name, Father's Name, and Sponsor Name fields. If you search but don't find a record for that individual, you can add a new Contact record.
Note: This only creates the Contact record with the details you provide. No Family, Member, Donor, or Address records are created for this individual.
- Create New Parish of Sacrament
- There's a search icon in the Name of Parish Where Sacrament Occurred field. If you search but don't find a record for that parish, you can add a new Sacrament Place record.
