Complete an online form for each individual parish. Do not complete separate Vital Statistics forms for secondary churches, church buildings or parishes that closed during the reporting time period (those numbers should be included in the assuming parish’s statistics).
For best results, use Google Chrome or Firefox web browsers to complete the form.
The online form is on the Diocese of Sioux City website at scdiocese.org. Highlight the “Offices” menu, then click on “Chancellor.” There you will find links to the instructions and the user log in.
Enter your Username and Password. The Username and Password are a specific number assigned to each parish. Enter that same number in both fields, then hit “Login.” If you don’t know your parish number, please contact Renee DeMay at [email protected]. The login page may take a minute or so to load.
On the first page, check to be sure that your city and parish name are correctly displayed at the top of the page and that the “Reporting Year” shows “2021.”
Note that your Vital Statistics form will already be populated with last year’s information. Simply update the form with the current year’s information.
When entering a field that requires a number, you must enter a value, even if it is “0.” You will be prompted if the field is left blank.
Numbers will be totaled automatically for you.
As you complete each page, hit “Next” to save that page and continue.
At any time, you can log out of the form and come back to finish it later--just be sure to save the page you are on by hitting “Next.” When you log back in, you will return to where you left off.
You can also go back and make changes to previous pages. Use the menu on the left to move around freely in the form after completing the required items on the first page.
The system will time out after 20 minutes, so be sure to hit “Next” to save your information if you will be delayed or step away from your computer.
When you get to the last page, hit “Finished” and you will be taken to a “Summary Confirmation” that you can print for your records. Even after you hit “Finished” you will be able to go in and make changes until the completion deadline.
Do not email hardcopy forms as we receive the electronic form automatically.
Please complete and submit the online Vital Statistics form by Monday, November 8, 2021.
