You need to add the international prefix for US (?)

+1 717-xxx-xxxx

Thank you so much Livio!! You are a blessing!!

-- Oh wait, I tried putting that and the site says:

"il campo *TELEFONO* non contiene un numero telefonico valido. - [ none ]"

What does this mean?? What do I do now?

Thanks,
Jean

The web form is expecting an Italian telephone number ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_numbers_in_Italy ). I would just leave the field blank; it is unlikely the priest is going to telephone you, anyway. :)

In the telefono box? No, I doubt that will work.

Can you just leave it blank? If not, try making it happy with "06 0000 0000"

It doesn't like the "06 0000 0000" -- same message!!! Leaving it blank isn't working. Same message.

It also asks for my email address. I wondered if that needed to be written differently.

Sorry for the confusion!

Thank You Livio!!

Now it said "La richiesta è stata inviata con successo. Riceverai le informazioni richieste appena possibile."

Which I'm guessing said, in short, my message was received and they will respond as soon as possible -- right?
