Why should you register?…To become part of the St. Mary/St. Patrick Church family. If a parishioner is not registered, it is difficult for us to issue testimonial letters, recommendations, references, etc. If we are to testify to your ability as a sponsor for Baptism, Confirmation, or witness at a Catholic Marriage, you need to be registered. Parish registration is necessary before arranging a Baptism, Wedding or enrollment in the Religious Education program. All new families are welcome at St. Mary/St. Patrick Church and should be registered in the parish. Registration should begin as soon as possible. If you are new to the parish and wish to become a registered member, please call the parish office. To register call the Parish Office 815-248-2490.
