Patriarchal Blessing recommend submission

So in Bishopric training meeting we were presented with the new online submission system for Patriarchal Blessings.

Trouble is that the only way I can access it is through a link on an email from the Stake President - there doesn't seem to be a link to it in the tools menu anywhere I can see?

This is the link I have: https://apps.lds.org/pbsubmit/sp/landing.jsf

Using your link, I found the following in the Introduction on the opening page: -

The Church has made available an electronic Patriarchal Blessing Submission System that allows stake presidents, bishops, and patriarchs to use a secure website to work together throughout the patriarchal blessing process. By using this system

So it would appear that this is aimed purely at the above! Less work, in theory, for us Clerks. :rolleyes:

Spoke too soon, it would appear that the Bishop can give permission for his Counselors, Ward Clerk etc.. to prepare and submit Recommend interviews!

Where do you see mention that bishops can authorize others to access pbsubmit?
Thx

When you log into the application, it takes you to the introduction page. Clicking on the Bishop section, at the bottom there are featured two downloadable forms. Instructions for Bishops contains those instructions!

It might depend on your calling/s, if you can get that far!

Bumping...

The original post has been ignored.

It would be really nice if there were a link somewhere in my leadership menu. Instead, I have the link bookmarked on my home computer, my office computer, and the clerks computer because I can't remember the url...

Maybe we could get this into the current beta?

When will this system be available church wide? I'm a bishop and it won't let me log in. A message indicates that use of this system is by invitation only. Rats!

In my experience, most features are not made available on the Tools menu or Leader Resources menus until they are widely available (the one exception I can recall is the FIR system, which did appear on Tools during the pilot phase). Since the PB system has not yet been released to the whole Church, I'm not surprised that it has no link except the one provided to the specific stakes that have been invited to use it at this point.

That said, it does seem to be rolling out very slowly; I'd love to see it available Church-wide soon.

If that is the case, then to me, it seems i am only half testing the system. Why not put a link on and it it isn't available to you yet, you get a message saying so.

Sort of: If I am going to test the system, let me test the link as well. As is, it isn't very secure with the url bookmarked everywhere and my sign on being saved in the system.



Not that anyone is clamoring to break into the patriarchal blessing system...

My stake is not yet enrolled in the online submission program yet but my bishop is in need of a new recommend book. How and where do I go about ordering one of these? I can't find any information anywhere.

Thanks!

The Patriarchal Blessing form is printed out in MLS. I'm not at an MLS installed computer at the moment, but I'm sure someone be will able to tell you where.

From the Reports/Forms menu option select Patriarchal Blessing Recommend.

I am the Patriarch for the Ephraim Utah Stake. Copies of the bishops recommends for Patriarchal Blessings are not appearing on my screen now for some reason. I can go to the next screen where I record the blessing and the persons information is given. Is there a need to make a correction or has that recommend screen been discontinued?

Thanks for working to get me into the system. I appreciate your efforts. It must be quite difficult to get it done.

For those just visiting the new link is:

Where are you looking that you see her record? Does the record show she has been baptized? Is she an adult?

Perhaps you could print the PB recommend using MLS?

I have an lds account but when I put in my password and username I can't pull it up. Please can someone help me to get it. My user name is janburton and my password is [deleted].
Please help, Janet

Odds are it hasn't been digitized yet. You'll need to use the page to request it and wait for them to do it.

From the main lds.org page, click on "My Account and Ward" in the upper right. Select Patriarchal Blessing at the bottom of the left column. Then click on "My Blessings". From there, you should either see it or see the option to request it.

I'm a bishop of a newer ward. I get an Access denied error for having insufficient permissions. Yet I am able to log into LCR and see what I should see there. Any ideas?

Confirm that your stake is using the on-line system. Not all of them are.

I am a branch president in China - we do not have a PB recommend book and i cannot see how to get online to submitt a form so a young lady in my branch can go home to St George over the holidyas and get a Patriach Blessing. Does she need to have a recommend from me to show to the Patriarch in her old home stake??

In this situation it may be easier for you to write a letter of recommendation to her home bishop and stake president, certifying her worthiness, and requesting that they interview her and issue a recommend for her to obtain a patriarchal blessing while she is there. Make sure she has an Individual Ordinance Summary with her so that they can get the necessary membership information.

If you decide to try and issue the actual recommend, both you and a member of the mission presidency must sign it. You may be able to go online to print the recommend. Go to lds.org and sign in. Click on your name and on Patriarchal Blessing in the left column of the drop down menu. Because you are a branch president, you may get an option to issue a recommend and be able go print out the recommendation. You and a member of the mission presidency would sign it after interviews, and the patriarch will be able to give her a blessing.

But as I said at first, if you are not able to print out a recommend, I would try the letter.

You might also contact your priesthood leader or the Church country representative, as appropriate, and ask for their suggestions. They likely have dealt with this situation before and may have a process in place to assist you.
