People often attend Mass at a parish for months or even years without officially registering. Parish registration is an expression of your commitment to being an active member of our community. Parish registration also simplifies the process for the planning and preparation of baptisms, weddings, and funerals, and for serving as sponsor or godparent for a sacramental candidate. Parish registration can be easily accomplished by contact- ing the parish office.
We
also need your help in keeping our records current. Whenever there is a move, birth, death, or marriage in your family, please notify the parish office.
