You can update the household position.

Head of Household - the parents/guardians; Heads of Household edit information of other members and register other members for events/groups. If your children have parents that do not live in your household (i.e. divorced parents) but need to be included in communications regarding your child(ren), please contact us at info@stmaustin.org so we can make take the appropriate actions.

Adult Child - used for children over 18. If your child has permanently moved out of your home, contact us at info@stmaustin.org so we can inactivate their record.

Guest Child - used for children under 18 who may reside in your home temporarily (i.e. foster children)

Minor Child - used for children under 18 who may reside in your home full- or part-time.

Other Adult - used for grandparents or single aunts/uncles who reside within the household.

You can update the household position.
15

You can update the Communications Preferences

At this time, we are not utilizing the Online Directory. Should we one day launch that tool, here are how the preference settings would work:

  • Hide from Online Directory - removes all mention (name, contact information, etc.) of the member from the Online Directory.

  • Email/Mobile Phone Unlisted - keeps the name of the member included in the online directory but does not include the respective contact information.

While you can select the do not send text messages/email messages, there will be certain messages that are important enough that they will bypass these settings (i.e. inclement weather closures, etc.). If you activate these preferences and later subscribe to a publication (i.e. the parish weekly email, etc.) you will not receive the publication emails.
