3 Page 3 W elcome to We, the people of Holy Family Parish, in the Diocese of Trenton, are called through Baptism to celebrate the presence of Christ in Word, Sacrament, and Deed. We are called and sent by Christ to live gratefully the life God has given us and to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ. In the spirit of faith, service, and community, we strive to bring people closer together and closer to God. Parish Registration We welcome you if you are a new member to the parish and invite you to register at the Rectory Office. We encourage you to share in a parish ministry program. You may register at Holy Family in a variety of ways including picking up the form in the rectory or filling the form out online and either mailing it to the rectory, dropping it in the collection basket or hand delivering it to the rectory. Become a Registered Parishioner One of the most important things that the people of a parish should do is register. Registering for the parish not only makes you more apart of the family of Holy Family and the Church it gives a chance for you and your family to be counted and heard in the parish Some important reasons to register are the following: Sponsor Certificates - when you are asked to be a sponsor for either Baptism or Confirmation you need a letter signed from your pastor stating that you are a practicing Catholic. If you are not registered in the parish, it is not possible for the pastor to sign these forms. Marriage- For marriage preparation and marriage a letter may be needed from your pastor to allow you to get married in another parish or church. Funerals- when burying a loved one in a catholic cemetery without a funeral mass it is necessary to get priest lines. Unfortunately the pastor needs to know if a parishioner was a registered member before he can officially sign the documents. Mailings - You will receive all parish mailings with regards to special events and announcements. Contributions - registered parishioners receive weekly envelopes to assist with the day to day operations of the parish. These are just a few of the ways that being a registered parishioner can make your experience a better one at Holy Family. P.R.E.P.
