A requirement for all parishes in the Diocese of Rockford to reopen churches is for all members of the Parish Reopening Leadership Team to complete a one-hour webinar training on the necessary steps, procedures and certification processes for reopening a church. The webinar is a Microsoft Teams video, hosted by the Archdiocese of Chicago. Since we are not members of the Archdiocese of Chicago, you will not be required to sign in and you may join the webinar as a guest. Click her to view the Reopening Training Webinar On-Demand.
