Required for processing and automations.
Please double check that all of the information you have provided is accurate, especially contact information.
This form is built on automations to share and archive information in efficient and effective ways for all persons connected to the COM discernment and ordination processes; however those automations rely on you correctly inputting contact information. Inaccurate information (including as a result of typos!) may delay the deacon's process.
Please make sure that you have added a response to all question fields with an asterisk (*), even if that response is "N/A" or "unknown." The form will not submit successfully with empty required fields.
Once you have double-checked your information and press submit, a copy of your responses will be sent to you as well as to the deacon's COM Contact and the diocesan office.
