How to register for parish membership
Persons considering parish membership are invited to register
by calling the parish office or
stopping by for information.
Saint Augustine’s parish life is introduced, which includes parish history, staff roles, sacramental information, volunteer ministry information, and a description of the ways the faith community chooses to live out the parish mission statement.
Registration forms and a Time and Talent Offering form are among items given to potential new members.
New parish members can be formally received by the faith community at a Welcoming Rite at pre-scheduled Sunday liturgies, generally held on the first Sunday of the month.
Parish hosts provide support and hospitality to new members during the liturgy and afterward at the Men’s Club breakfast.
