Parish Registration Form

Question:

Why is it so important that we register in a parish? Isn't it good enough that we go to Mass?

Answer:

Registration is the official way we join a parish community. Many people think that because they attend a particular parish they automatically belong. At times, young adults who have moved away for years think they are still signed up under their parents. But membership requires signing up, formally enrolling yourself in a parish. Registration is a commitment to a community, a way to be included in the religious, social, and ministerial activities of your parish. Your registration affects the parish in many ways. Census numbers can determine how many priests are assigned to a church, what benefits and obligations the community has to the diocese, and how Masses, Confessions, and devotions are planned and scheduled.

Registration shows you belong. It is also necessary for certain benefits, like scheduling sacraments, obtaining sponsor certificates, and getting donation statements for taxes. Most importantly, it lets the parish count on you, to call on you to assist in its mission. Registering in your parish is a statement of faith and confidence in the life and work of your parish.

New Members - Catholic over the age of 18 (unless they are in school), we invite you to become registered members of our parish! This is a great way to practice the Catholic Faith. Registration forms are available on the bulletin boards in the back of the church. Please fill out this form and return it either by mail or the collection basket. Soon after, you will get a letter confirming your membership in the mail. Or you can complete the online form by click the link above.

Please make sure you introduce yourself to the Priest celebrating the Mass you attend!

to know, love and serve Christ

Immaculate Conception Parish is on a journey to know, love and serve Christ in our parish community. Together, we must embrace Christ's vision for missionary discipleship, so our parish can thrive and be a place for others to grow together in faith.

The very first step in this process involves assessing our greatest strengths and opportunities, and that is where the Disciple Maker Index (DMI) comes in! The DMI is a tool that invites you to reflect on your discipleship journey here at Immaculate Conception. It is designed to:

Invite parishoners to reflect on their journey of discipleship.
Enable parish leadership to make data driven decisions
Help parishoners to grow in their faith

The 10-15 min survey can be accessed in an on line link starting January 4th, 2025 through February 2nd, 2025, and will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth, and enable you to provide your perspective on our parish's effort to help you grow in your relationship with Christ. All responses are confidential, and the parish will only receive information about our parish community as a whole. Paper surveys will be available for those that do not have access to on line completion of the survey.

Together, we must embrace Christ's vision for discipleship so our parish can thrive and be a place for others to grow in faith.
