What does registering as a parishioner at St. James Parish mean for you?
Registered parishioners receive preference when choosing dates for church celebrations, such as weddings and baptisms, as well as using the facilities for family celebrations, etc.
Other parishes often request verification of a person's status as a practicing Catholic, attendance at Mass, etc., when that person has been asked to be a Godparent or Confirmation Sponsor, and registration makes that verification possible.
In order to participate in various lay ministries, registration in the parish is required.
