Parish Registration
Currently, 2,078 households are registered in the parish. If you are not a registered parishioner and wish to be, simply contact the Parish Office at 302-475-6486 extension 110 and request a Parish Census Form. Forms are also available at each entrance to our church. Often time’s individuals or families think by worshiping weekly they are “registered” in a parish. Unless a Parish Census Form is on file families or individuals are not registered. Registering children for Religious Education does not register the family as parishioners; a Parish Census Form must be on file.
Offertory Envelopes
Offertory Envelopes are mailed to homes on a bi-monthly basis. The use of these envelopes assists in planning the parish budget more accurately. In January, the parish office will issue a tax letter indicating contributions for the preceding calendar year to those parishioners who use the offertory envelope system. These statements will be sent to individual or family who contributes $250 or more each year. Those contributing less than $250 may request a statement of their contributions.
Parish Bulletin
The parish bulletin is available after all weekend masses in each portico. We encourage you to read the bulletin for important announcements concerning holyday Mass schedules, spiritual, educational, and social activities and events. The parish bulletin may also be viewed online, here on our website.
All announcements for inclusion in the parish bulletin must be submitted to the parish office in writing by 12:00 Noon on the Monday prior to that week's publication. All submissions should include your name and telephone number to assist us should there be a question concerning the announcement. All announcements are pending Pastor's approval and space.
