PARISH REGISTRATION:
Registration means “filling out a census card.”
Unless you have registered, we have no record of your
presence in our parish. If
you get no mail from the rectory or envelope service, you may
conclude that you have not registered.
Please stop by the Rectory Office during regular office hours
(Monday-Friday from 8:00 A.M.-4:00 P.M.) and fill out a census card,
or call us @ 251-7055. We will be happy to mail you one.
If you are registered, it makes it easier to obtain letters
of recommendation, for sponsorship for sacraments, etc.
Please also consider using the weekly envelope system, which
will automatically be ordered for you from our envelope service.
(They should start to arrive around a month after you have
registered.) For those
who choose not to use envelopes, we have no record of attendance at
Mass or contributions and are unable to send end of the year
statements regarding contributions for your tax records.
THE GOOD ORDER OF THE HOUSE OF GOD:
Our ushers provide a
very welcome service at our celebrations of the Eucharist.
Please assist them if they ask for your help and cooperation.
Please help to keep
the Church and the surrounding area neat and clean. At the end of
Mass you can help by replacing your Music books and Missalettes in
the pew racks and by taking your bulletin home with you for handy
reference.
Please do not chew
gum in or around the Church. Dispose
of chewing gum in a trash receptacle not on the ground or under the
pews.
There is a CRYING
ROOM available for young children with room for one parent.
Out of respect for
the priest and courtesy to others, please arrive at Mass on time and
remain in your pews until the priest has left the Church.
Thank you for your
cooperation.
