Keeping a sick list

The sick list is the parish's living record of who is ill or in need, so visits, calls, and prayers do not depend on memory.

Add someone

• 1. Open Care → Sick list and add an entry: search the directory, or type a name for someone not on file.
• 2. Set the location (home, hospital, hospice, care facility) and urgency (normal or urgent), and add a short note of what you know.
• 3. Save. The entry shows how long the person has been on the list.

Close it gently

When the situation changes, resolve the entry with an outcome (recovered, moved, deceased, other). Resolved entries are tucked away but kept; toggle Show resolved to see them.

Tips

• If you resolve with "deceased," Vianney offers to open a funeral case — it suggests, you decide.
• Many sick-list entries start in Narthex with one click.
• Names typed for non-parishioners are kept exactly as entered — identity is never invented.
