Join Our Parish!

Are you new to the area? Do you come to Mass here, but just haven’t taken the time to register? We encourage you to register!

There are many benefits to registering in a parish. Read below for some of the top reasons.

  • Joining a parish gives you a sense of belonging in a parish community.
  • It is a commitment to practice your faith.
  • It allows the parish priests and staff to get to know you better, welcome you, and minister to you. This is especially important in times of crisis so that the pastoral staff can attend to your spiritual needs.
  • Registration helps you stay connected to your parish and helps the parish stay connected to you through newsletters, emails, etc.
  • Registered active members can more easily become godparents and sponsors for others.
  • Census numbers may help determine how many priests are assigned to a parish and how many Masses and programs are scheduled.

Did You Know? Once a child turns 18, it is their responsibility to register as a member independent of their parents.
