It has come to our attention that many people think they are registered members of the parish because they were baptized here, went to school here and live in the same home as when they were children. In addition, there is a presumption that their children are registered in the parish. It is important for every adult, age 21, for our registration purposes; to please register by completing a parish census form. This will avoid any misinformation or misconceptions when requesting Sacraments and/or Letters of Eligibility to be a sponsor. Please contact the Parish Office to verify your status. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Knights of Columbus Ever wonder what we are? Ever wonder what we do? We are a group of Catholic men. We are here to support the church.
