Registering in your parish is an important first step to becoming an active member in the Church community. Registration brings with it tangible benefits that can help a person become more fully engaged in the Church! Please note that we do not share your registration information with anyone, and it is completely confidential.
The benefits include--Establishes evidence of presence; Provides proof of sacramental participation; Demonstrates community involvement; Demonstrates financial commitment; Empowers the Pastor to support you when recommendations are needed; and provides you with a tax receipt. You are invited to fill out a parish registration form found on the bulletin board at the entrance of the Church. Please put the completed form into the collection basket during Offertory at Mass.
WELCOME TO HOLY CROSS!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A NOTE ON PASTORAL LETTERS
People ask for pastoral references for various purposes. A pastoral letter is an affirmation of your active commitment to the parish on various levels. It obviously means that you are a registered parishioner supporting the parish in its sacramental and communitarian faith journey and the pastor of the parish affirms it.
