Benefits of Registration at Our Lady of the Rosary
Keeping up with a parish of many families can be a challenge! Our Lady of the Rosary also serves many more families who are not registered but who still come to us for pastoral care. It is beneficial for both the parish administration and the individual families to be registered. Registration is a confirmation of our desire and commitment to give ourselves to God and to one another in our community of faith. Our weekly offering is a prayer expressed through our material gifts received through our labors.
There are many concerns and difficulties that may make some reluctant to make this commitment. Some of the benefits of being registered include:
There are many concerns and difficulties that may make some reluctant to make this commitment. Some of the benefits of being registered include:
- You will receive important mailings at Christmas, Easter and other times throughout the year, keeping you up to date on parish news.
- Registration is proof of membership in the Church.
- Preference of choice of dates for your Church celebrations.
- Persons involved in lay ministry should be registered in the parish
- Parishes often request verification of a person’s status as a practicing Catholic, attendance at Mass, etc., when a person has been asked to be a Godparent or sponsor. Without registration, no such verification can be given.
- Regular mailings of envelopes for Sunday offerings with name, address, and a number assigned to each registered parishioner printed on each envelope. Your offerings are confidentially recorded by our staff for proof of donations and tax purposes. Without using envelopes, we cannot verify your donations.
