Parish Registration

Registering at a Catholic parish helps you become an active member of a faith community, fostering a sense of belonging and commitment to your Catholic faith. This action provides tangible benefits, such as the pastor and staff knowing and ministering to you and your family, enabling parish communication, and allowing for easier access to services like Sacrament preparation (Baptism, Confirmation, Marriage). It also supports the parish by providing accurate census numbers for planning and resource allocation, and allows you to receive important updates and tax-related information from your offerings
