Parish Registration
Thank you for your interest in our parish.
We’re happy to have you here!
A parish is a community of believers and a spiritual family that provides support and love. It is a place for spiritual growth, where we can live out our faith and use our gifts of time and talent as disciples of Christ. We are here to answer any questions you may have.
After registering with the Cathedral, please inform your previous parish that you are now a registered member of the Cathedral. Each parish submits annual information to the Diocese regarding the number of registered parishioners, and maintaining accuracy is essential.
The Importance of Registering as a Parishioner
Registering as a parishioner at any parish makes you a part of the community and our faith family. This goes beyond simply tracking contributions or receiving communications from the parish or diocese. Here are several key reasons why parish registration is important:
- To have a child baptized, you must be registered with a parish.
- To serve as a godparent, an individual must obtain a letter of good standing from the parish priest, which is granted only if the individual has been registered and actively involved in the parish for at least six months.
- A letter of good standing is also required to act as a Confirmation Sponsor.
- Many parishes require individuals to be registered for at least one year before they can be married within the church.
