Confession Father & Spiritual Servant Linking

In orthodox and traditional Christian care models, linking parishioners with their designated Confession Father (Priest) and Spiritual Servants is essential for maintaining pastoral oversight and regular spiritual guidance.

1. Assigning a Confession Father

Parish administrators, priests, or members themselves (during onboarding) can specify their Confession Father:

1. Navigate to People > Directory and click on the member’s profile.

2. Click Edit Profile.

3. Locate the Confession Father drop-down field.

4. Select the ordained Priest from your parish clergy roster.

5. (Optional) Enter the date of the member’s last recorded confession or spiritual check-in.

6. Click Save Changes.

2. Priest Spiritual Roster View

When a priest logs in with the Priest Role, Koinonia OS provides a dedicated Pastoral Dashboard:

1. Go to Pastoral Care > My Confession Roster.

2. The roster displays all parishioners who have designated this priest as their Confession Father.

3. Filter by:

   • Active Confessors (Confession recorded within the past 30-60 days).

4. Pastoral Follow-Up Needed (No confession logged in over 90 days or flagged as at-risk).

5. Click Log Confidential Check-in to add private notes.
