• All events, trainings and items for publication must follow the Catholic Faith.
• Typically all events must be within Vicariate I. Exceptions will be considered on a case by case basis.
• Parish reconciliation times, except during Advent and Lent, and mass times are best submitted to your own parish’s website, not the Vicariate website.
• Please submit your request as soon as it is known.  We do need a minimum of 2 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) to move forward in the steps of publication on the website, from submission to review, to approval and publishing.
• Submissions must be sent camera ready, meaning that we will not type, retype, or add missing information. Please submit in Microsoft Word or PDF files.

• Event location, including full address, location on the parish campus etc.
• Please indicate if registration (RSVP) is required and by when.
