WHY REGISTER IN A PARISH?
A Catholic parish is the single most important part of our Catholic Church. Our church is where we continue the mission of Jesus Christ. Here we publicly express our faith and give witness of our communion with God and with one another.
There are several reasons to register:
· A sense of belonging and identity in a parish community.
· Provides the parish community with a way to welcome you.
· In times of joy and in times of struggle, you have the support of a faith family.
· It is a commitment to practice your faith.
· Gives a chance for you and your family to be counted and heard in the parish.
· Registering includes you in the planning for the needs of the parish.
· Gives the parish a way to connect with you, especially when family has the dying person.
· Guidance to receive the Sacraments of Baptism, First Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, or Holy Matrimony, and Reconciliation
· Will facilitate the registration process at PSJ STEM Academy if you have children who plan to attend.
