Email the Office of Faith, Family, and Discipleship at [email protected] when your account is set up. We will add you to the correct group with the name – Diocese of Greensburg.
- As a catechist works through a class it is very important that at the end of each page that they work on in a class they hit the save button! This is the way to save their work. If they do not hit save, any work they do in a class will be lost.
- At the end of the class, you must take the evaluation. After you take the evaluation you must SUBMIT the evaluation. Then, you must click YES to save and submit the evaluation.
- Any time a catechist returns to the website after the first log-in a catechist will fill in the information under Returning To The Website to continue where they left off at their last log out.
- Your account will indicate each class you have completed. You can find this by clicking on Other Links and then clicking on My Modules Completed. When your account indicates your class is completed, email the Office of Faith, Family, and Discipleship. After your journal and evaluation are reviewed, we will then assign you a sign-out code to enter into MyHalo.
- Please direct your questions first to the Office of Faith, Family, and Discipleship. If we cannot answer your questions we will then direct you to Tech Support.
Thank you for your attention and interest. We wish you and your catechists all the best in this new training and certification adventure.
