Questions & Answers
If I update my information, will I still need to contact the St. Ambrose office to let them know?
No. My Own Church is connected with the diocese’s main system.
Why can’t I see my change immediately?
When you make a change in the system, an office administrator has to approve the change before it is updated in the system. This could take 1-3 business days.
I recently created an account. Why can’t I log in?
If you created your account in the last couple days, your church administrator may not have authorized your username and password yet. This could take 1-3 business days.
What if I forgot my password?
Visit the site and click the “Lost Password” link.
I got a “Registration Failed” message. Why?
The system could not find your email address in the church database. Please contact our office at 515-288-7411 and we’ll help you get set up!
If you still need help, please contact our office at 515-288-7411.
