How to choose the Spanish language in ParishSOFT

Mailings from Bishop Rhoades are sent in English and in Spanish. The Spanish version is sent only to those who are marked “Spanish” under language field in ParishSoft (Spanish/English and English/Spanish will get the English version).  A parishioner should be marked “Spanish” only if they have requested written communication in Spanish, so this should be a question you ask when you set them up. There are many who speak Spanish, but prefer written communication in English, so do not assume that because a person is fluent in Spanish, they want their written communication in Spanish.
