If you do not register we do not have a permanent record of you being a Parishioner. If you decide you want donation envelopes we can then also issue you a tax statement of your contributions that you have offered during the year. Please look for sign up cards at the doors of the Church and drop them in the collection basket or come by the Rectory. We celebrate First Friday with Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Will you not spend one hour with me is the plea of Jesus. Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will usually follow the 8:30 AM Mass and conclude with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament at 2:00 pm.
