Hello Everyone. I have one branch president who wants to know if he could obtain one of his member's patriarchal blessing. The member lost her blessing and would like to get a copy of it. I know there is a request form for those who have their LDS Account. But the member requesting the copy doesn't use computers much. Is there another way for the president to help her get a copy of her patriarchal blessing?

From Handbook 2, section 20.12.3 - (https://www.lds.org/handbook/handbook-2 ... ng#20.12.3)
...If the original has been sent to Church headquarters, a copy may be obtained from:

Patriarchal Blessings
15 East North Temple Street
Salt Lake City, UT 84150-1600
Telephone: 1-801-240-3581

A person who requests a copy of his or her patriarchal blessing should supply his or her full name, membership record number (if available), and birth date. If possible, the person should include the name of the patriarch and the approximate date of the blessing.

Go to LDS.org and click on the My Account and Ward link near the top right. In the drop down menu, click on Patriarchal Blessing at the bottom of the left column Follow the instructions from there.

Yes. Follow the instructions in the post just before yours. Patriarchs send all patriarchal blessings to Church headquarters for safekeeping. You should be able to request yours just as any other member. If you received your blessing recently, it may not yet have arrived in Salt Lake City, but patriarchs are supposed to send them in regularly if they are not already using the online system.

Hi,

I requested a copy of my patriarchal blessing from Salt Lake Headquarters but they said they don't have a copy.

How do I submit a copy to Salt Lake?

Thanks.

The patriarch who gave you your blessing is the one who needs to send it to Church headquarters.

Your stake president will know were your stake patriarch is in submitting blessings. If you received your patriarchal blessing very recently, it might not be at Church headquarters yet.

If you received your blessing in another stake, or if you received it some time ago, your stake clerk should be able to give you an address or contact information so that you can resolve the issue.

Attention to the Clerk, of Glen Innes Ward, Panmure Stake.

I am requesting my Patriarchal Blessing as I have lost it, about 15 years ago. I didn’t receive it in Panmure Stake. I had to go to the area East Tamaki, in Ōtara. I cannot evan remember the Patriarch who gave me my blessing. I cannot remember the date either. Just that the chapel I went too, was in Ōtara. I hope this helps you, to find it.

Look forward to your reply.

The forum is a user-to-user discussion forum, so nobody here can direct your message to the clerk in the indicated ward.

Your patriarchal blessing can probably be found via the Church's online request system: https://pb.churchofjesuschrist.org/pbrequest A form will ask for your personal information, perhaps your parents names, and any information you have on where and when the blessing was given. The page says it can take a few weeks for researchers to find your blessing. Once it is found, you will have online access to your blessing. You can also request blessings given to your deceased direct-line ancestors.

If you wish to contact the ward clerk directly, you can probably use the Ward Directory and Map app or web-app: https://directory.churchofjesuschrist.org/ For that, you'll need your Membership Record Number attached to your account.

If you wish to contact your bishop but don't know his name or contact information, the Meetinghouse Locator, https://maps.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng should allow you to send a message to him.
