Why become a member? As humans we desire to belong. Community is a vital aspect of our personhood. Within a faith community, membership enables you to take ownership and to invest yourself in the life of the Church in a new way.
How do I become a member? The second and fourth Saturdays of each month are the New Member Welcome Orientations. Please join us in the Parish Center on the east side of the church campus at 11:00 am to learn more about the parish and meet other new members. Feel free to bring your children, they too are welcome. Call Ginny on the New Member Welcome line at 727.726.8477 x318 if you would like to come, need more information, or have questions.
Q & A
1) Why do I need to come to a meeting to register?
It’s a short gathering of 40-45 minutes with refreshments where you are able to meet, greet and get to know other newbies, existing members, the pastor and some of the staff. Here you will get orientated to the parish community and culture through a multi-media presentation and receive a folder of information about your new parish community. Infants and children are ALWAYS WELCOMED!
2) When will my envelopes start?
In about 2-3 weeks time.
3) Can I sign up for Automatic Offertory Giving then?
Yes.
4) Can I get my child’s baptism process started then?
Yes. You can find out more information at the Baptism Preparation page.
5) Can I register my child for Religious Education then?
No. Simply call their office at 727.812.4656. Registering first in the community is a prerequisite. Find out more about Religious Education.
6) I’ve been asked to be a (Baptism/Confirmation) sponsor, can I get my letter of verification then?
Becoming a sponsor/Godparent is a very vital ministry within the Church and one which requires first, an understanding of that role, then to be “living” that life. By regisitering you are “refreshing “ that vow of your baptism to be active in your faith. Sponsorship letters are available in the office following registration and participation.
