I am the stake executive secretary. Why do the instructions for patriarchs tell the patriarch to obtain a paper copy of the recommend from the member when the patriarch can print the recommend from the system by clicking on the member's name (hyperlink) in the submission section of the Overview page?

I do not believe that all stakes use the online system just yet, so that may be a factor in the status of the instructions.

The counselor in our bishopric is trying to issue a recommend for a patriarchal blessing but the menu doesn't appear under his login. He can get to the page but it's blank.

This subject does not appear to have generated much interest but I will give the answer that I received from PBFeedback anyway. They indicated that the "Help" instructions would change later this year and that the member should continue to bring that paper recommend that the bishop can print for them at the time they are interviewed and recommended by the bishop.

What exactly is the PBSS link so I can’t help the patriarch submit the blessings to our area president. I am the scribe. We’re new to this calling. We live in Tongatapu, pacific island.

You can also get to this link by logging on to lds.org, going to Leader and Clerk Resources, then click the Applications tab and click "Patriarchal Blessings Submission" in the list. The above link should take you to a login page first, and then to the patriarchal blessings page after you log in.

As a stake patriarch in the Grandview South Stake (Provo, Utah), I need a little assistance to make a small edit in a blessing given on November 10, 2019 to [name redacted]. Can you help me bring up the blessing for this small edit? Or, make the edit for me? --Patriarch [name redacted] ([email address redacted]_.

The forum is not an official tech support channel. The forum is primarily user-to-user help and support. No one on the forum can access the record or make changes. Contact the Global Service Department (GSD) for support. If you do not have the GSD telephone number then talk to your stake clerk. He can give you the number.

I am the patriarch . . . . I need to make a correction on a patriarchal blessing I gave . . . .
I spelled his name wrong twice in the first paragraph and once in the beginning of the second paragraph. On his first name, I left out the letter I. Thank you.

This is a public forum. Your stake clerk should be able to give you contact information for the Global Services Department. The GSD will be able to tell you how to make the changes.

Thank you for your faithful service as a patriarch in blessing the lives of the members of your stake.

We had requested for my husband's patriachal blessing for more than 2 months now, and until today, our Bishop and Stake President are still unable to figure out what's causing the delay in this process. Our Stake Patriach cant find any application for my husband but my Bishop had done it twice. I spoke to both my Bishop and Stake Prese and theyre not sure on what the issue is as to why the Stake Patriach still cant see my husband's form already on the system. This is causing delay in getting his blessing and we would really appreciate any asistance that can be provided to both my Bishop and Stake President so my husband can get his blessing asap please.

This is a peer to peer technical blog provided by the Church. No one here is able to assist you directly, however I suggest you call the problem to the attention of both your ward and stake clerks and if neither one of them is able to figure it out, one of them, probably the stake clerk, should phone the Church's Global Service Center for assistance. He should have access to the phone number.

Gender needs to be listed on recommend

I am a stake patriarch. Recently I had recommend for a member of a YSA stake so I did not have access to this members listing on Tools. The name was unique and I could not tell whether the member was a male or female. I made by best guess and address the member as Brother which was incorrect.

It would be very helpful if gender was listed on the summary sheet we print out.

Thank you
