Why do I need to register at the Parish?

By registering in a parish, you are declaring your desire to be part of a Catholic faith community. 

Top Reasons to Register at a Parish:

• You will gain a sense of belonging and identity in a parish community.
• Registration enables the parish pastor and staff to get to know you better, to welcome you and to minister to you. This is especially important during a time of crisis so that the pastoral staff can attend to your spiritual needs and the needs of your family.
• It is a commitment to practice your faith.
• Registration helps you connect with your parish and helps your parish connect with you. Providing your contact information is important so that the parish can provide you timely updates via email, Flocknote, direct mail, phone, etc.  If you use offertory envelopes or online giving, you will also receive a year-end statement of your donations for income tax purposes. 
• Once you are registered, please notify the parish office of any changes in address or phone number when they occur.
• Registered active members may be eligible for sponsor/godparent validation.

What about Children who are 18 Years of Age or Older still living at home?

Children are considered members with their parents until they become legal adults at the age of 18.  Once they are age 18, it is their responsibility to join a church family, participate in the Mass and to register as a member independent of their parents, even if they are still living at home.
