Active Parishioner Status
We receive many requests for parishioners to qualify for active
parishioner status for weddings here, or to be godparents or
sponsors for the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation, and to
rightfully enjoy the number of services offered at St. Mary Our Lady
of Grace. Part of that request is to be able to verify that a person
is an “active member” of the St. Mary Parish. Because of the nature
of our congregation, having so many visitors, it is difficult to
know everyone.
An “active member” of this Parish is one who:
• Is properly
registered and on the parish rolls
• Faithfully
attends Mass on Sunday and Holy Days
• Participates in
parish activities when possible
• Uses the parish
envelope system or ACT (Automatic Contribution Transfers)
While assessments of an inquirer’s status will be made individually,
the above are the main factors that will be considered in making
that determination.
Returning Catholics Prayer |
|
Dear Lord, may our hearts and minds be nourished by your
sustaining love,
May our words and actions be guided by your ever present grace,
That all who seek to know you; encounter you here,
That all who seek to serve you; be welcomed to the vineyard,
That all who seek to love you; know that they are loved.
That all who seek to return to their Catholic faith may be
welcomed and received.
