Template.prototype.autorun() doesn't work inside a loop

Meteor function executes before publish and subscribe finishes loading collection

The easiest way would be to do Template-level subscriptions. Template.myTemplate.onRendered(function() { var subscription = this.subscribe('publicationName', publicationArguments); } That is a very simplified way of doing it, but you should have no problems with your helper running first.
