I'm looking at Schools module and I see in the mockup "Parish Affiliation" category, which many schools have listed in the About section, as well as a Pastor field.
1) Are we breaking out the Parish Affiliation info and putting that in a new field?
2) Is the Pastor field here going to be a text box filled out on the Schools page, or an association to a School on the Clergy page (just like we've done with Parishes and Clergy)?

I couldn't wrap my head around the need to create a system to associate a School to a Parish, that was informational in name(s) only (ie not searchable, not filterable, not linking, etc). Personally, I think a text area will do just fine. Of course, we can always circle back to this, but for right now it felt like overkill.
So, I went with just a text area for Parish Affiliation portion.
For the School Pastor end of things, I updated Clergy members to have a second assignment area, specifically for schools. So it'll be two separate drop downs on the edit side. This was much simpler than trying to combine Parishes and Schools into one list, and keep them straight, especially since Parishes and Schools are separate tables.
While the mockups show just "Pastor" on the School side, I did code it in such a way that all Assignments would work, and multiple clergy will work as well.
Additionally, this required some additional logic efforts for the Find Clergy page, since now there are new locations and potentially more than one position (which I think is a bug in the other Find A's and I just happened to find it with my test).
I used Fr. Mathew Abraham as a test clergy member. He doesn't have any assignments, but I added him to a church and school respectively to demonstrate.
