Religious Education\Faith Formation Registration for 2018 – 19

ConnectNow is St. Peter’s database program which enables us to manage all of our parishioner information. This database allows families to register for classes directly online, simplifying the process for you and for the RE staff. 

To Register Click Here to go to the ConnectNow Website

1. If you have already created your ConnectNow account, please go to step “4”.
2. You first need to create an account on the ConnectNow website that connects to your family’s information in the parish database.
   • Click on “New User”
   • Under “Organization”, select “Church of St. Peter, Mendota”
     • Please note – it is listed alphabetically under “C”, not “S”
   • Pick your own unique username that you will remember
   • Please enter all required information (required items are noted by a red *)
     • Be sure to include dashes in your phone number
   • If you can’t remember what email account the parish has on file for you, please enter multiple emails where given the chance. (The reason for this will be explained below)
3. Click Submit Registration
   • If your email address matches what we have in the database (corresponding to your other personal information), then you will receive an automated email a few minutes later with a temporary password.
   • If your email address that you entered does not match what we have on file, or you do not have an email address on file, then the system requires a manual approval of your account by a staff member.
     • Depending on when you fill out the form, it could take up to 24 hours (longer over a weekend) to get the account approved and the confirmation email sent back to you.
4. Using your password, you may log in to ConnectNow to register your children for RE classes, change your email on file, or your address or phone number, and view your giving history.
