We would love to have you join our parish family.
A Catholic parish is an important part of the Catholic Church. The Parish is where we continue the mission of Jesus Christ. This is where we publicly express our faith and join together to give proof of our communion with God.
Are you registered?
Often people may attend Mass at a certain Parish for several years but never register. When a pastor accepts the registration, he also accepts the responsibility of your spiritual care. For instance, if a person is sick or dying, that Parish priest has the responsibility for that person. Parish registration creates a two-fold obligation: on the one hand, the Pastor is obligated to support the mission and needs of the Parish and its parishioners; on the other hand, the individual takes on the obligation to support the mission and needs of the Parish and his/her fellow parishioners.
We encourage you to register today. Registering in a Parish is a declaration of your desire to be part of a Catholic community and to make a commitment to the life of Incarnation Parish. Being a registered parishioner makes the process much easier when you wish to participate in a Parish ministry, or when it is time for infant baptism, school or religious education registration, weddings when asked to be a baptismal or confirmation sponsor, and even funerals. A registered parishioner receives all Parish mailings. Once you are registered, please notify the parish office of any changes in address or phone number.
We register in a Parish as a way to enhance a sense of belonging to the church community. It is a statement saying you are willing to give your time, your talent, and your treasure to the Church community. To register is also a statement that you are a practicing Catholic and entitles you to receive the Sacraments of Baptism (or a parent in the case of a child), First Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, or Holy Matrimony. You must be a registered and active parishioner to participate in the Religious Education program or to enroll your child in our School.
We are so gifted with many wonderful people who have lived Parish life in an admirable way! We are so proud of our liturgical ministers, our school and religious education families, our music ministers, the caring people of our parish who work with the bereaved, the sick, our children and teens, all those who participate in the Holy Mass, Sacraments and devotions….and we invite you to be ONE with us!
