Welcome to our Parish Community!

 

What is registration?
 
Registration is a commitment to your community; a way for you to be included in the worship, formation, ministry, and fellowship activities of a church. Many people believe that if they attend a parish, they automatically belong. Informally, you are a member of the nearest Catholic parish, but they don't know you. To formally belong to a parish community, you must register.
 
Why does it matter if I register?
 
Joining a parish is comparable to belonging to a family, team, or community organization. Your registration can affect the parish.
Parish registration numbers can determine:

• The number of priests assigned to a parish by the Bishop.
• The number of Masses offered.
• Types of formation programs made available.
• The responsibilities the parish holds with the diocese.
• Our ability to serve our neighbors in need.

 
Once I register, am I always registered?
 
Membership can lapse in some situations. Such as, when young adults move away and think that they are still registered under their parents. When previously registered parishioners join another parish. If a parishioner becomes inactive or fails to update the office with a change of address.
 
What if I’m not registered?
 
Not registering in a parish or allowing your membership to lapse can cause issues when someone registers to receive a sacrament – such as Baptism or Marriage, or attempts to enroll a child in a religious education program. If you are no longer registered or have not yet registered, they must begin again with a new registration.
 
How do I register?
 
Registering in the parish is a statement of faith and confidence in the life and work of our parish. As parish members, we are all here to help each other on our spiritual journey; we don’t want to do this alone. You will know if you are a registered member of the parish because you will receive regular communication from us, such as offertory envelopes, newsletters, or emails. If you do not receive at least one of these, simply print off the parish registration form, complete it and either drop it off at the parish office or mail it to:
