  7. Send the administrator request

    Open the Biểu tượng (Badge) section, fill in the registration form and send the request.

    I am stuck on this step

    No Icons entry means the Follow step did not go through. Go back one step.

After you send it

The parish administration team reviews the request. You get an email when it is accepted — usually within a few working days.

You are done when

  • Your parish appears in your Following list
  • The administrator request shows status Pending

Something went wrong?

I cannot find my parish at all
  • Check the diocese you selected in step 4
  • Type a shorter name, without diacritics — for example martino
  • Still nothing: the parish is not in the system yet, email the support team
I do not see the Badge section to register

It only appears after you have tapped Follow on the parish in step 6. Go back and check.

Request sent but I still cannot administer anything

The request is still pending. Once accepted, close and reopen the app (or sign out and back in) for the new rights to take effect.
