Seeing which members have a partriarchal blessing

#1

Post by jtyewhit »

Given the talks on patriarchal blessings in conference this weekend, I got a message from one of the wards asking whether there is a report they can generate to find which members have or haven't received their patriarchal blessing yet.

As far as I can tell, this information isn't in LCR.

Is possible to generate a report at the ward level of who has/hasn't received their blessing? If so, how? I tried a custom report but a) I'm at the stake level (executive secretary) so I don't know if I could see it if it is there, b) didn't see a patriarchal blessing field column I could choose.

At the unit level there is a report called the Patriarchal Blessing Status Report found in the LCR > Reports menu.

It's a clerk only report though, so as exec sec you won't be able to see it.

As 2nd counselor in our bishopric, I think I have access to this report but it is a very short list of those who are actively engaged in the process according to four categories:

Recommends in progress (basically scheduled interviews/working with bishop)
Recommends issued (completed the interview with bishop, now pending a blessing date)
Blessings in progress (blessing date is scheduled)
Blessings submitted (blessing completed, but only recent blessings are included in this list)

I cannot find a comprehensive ward list that includes patriarchal blessing status. Such a list may not exist (which is fine), but if there is one out there I can't find it.

Bishops and Clerks have access to the "Patriarchal Blessing Status Report" previously mentioned. It lists all baptized members along with their blessing status of "Received" or "Not Received". So I'd check either with your Bishop or your Clerk and verify they can see this complete report.

Interestingly, I briefly looked but couldn't find a report in LCR that would match what you describe, and the report I see doesn't have any filters for anything "in-progress". I'm not a Counselor like you are, so perhaps the report content changes based on your calling? Or perhaps you were looking at a different report I didn't see (that happens a lot :) )

The report you mentioned is different than what is available to the bishop and ward clerk. The Patriarchal Blessing Status Report has three filters, Received and Not Received (every worthy baptized member), Received, and Not Received. The report only includes every worthy baptized member. There are no other options such as recommends.
