By registering at a parish, you are declaring your desire to be part of a Catholic faith community. Parish registration is also important when family members are preparing to receive the Sacraments of Baptism, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, or Marriage.
Registration in a Catholic parish is also a requirement in order to be a sponsor at a Baptism or Confirmation. Being a member of a parish also gives one the identity of belonging to a family - in this case, the family of St. Matthew Catholic Church! Being a registered parish member assures you of that support.
Additionally, parish registration numbers may determine how many priests are assigned to a parish and how many Masses and enrichment programs are planned and scheduled. You can register online, stop by the parish office during the week, or pick up a Welcome Pack by one of the doors at church.
Thank you for taking the time to register!
