General Information
Parish Registration
All parishioners should be registered. Registering in the parish helps us know more about the people we serve. Testimonial letters in connection with sponsorship, and letters of recommendations for positions, schools or character references can not be issued if we do not know you. Contact the rectory office to register. Also, please notify the rectory office upon leaving the parish.
Parish Envelopes
The parish envelope system is an easy and organized way of making your financial contributions to the parish on a regular basis. This system enables us to record the contributions and issue year-end statements for tax purposes. (Such statements can ONLY be issued to those who use the envelopes.) We count on regular use of the envelopes to pay for the upkeep of the church, to help plan for the needs of the parish and to help set realistic goals.
Testimonial Letters
Testimonial letters in connection with sponsorship for Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Matrimony, and letters of recommendations are issued only to registered, active members of the parish.
Home and Hospital Visitation
To request home or hospital visitation by a priest or an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, please contact the rectory.
