Dear Friends:
WELCOME!
Your desire to become registered members of the Mater Dei Catholic Parish family is indeed an act of faith and a great manifestation of your willingness to belong and to engage; and for this, I am so grateful!
At Mater Dei, when this desire is acted upon, the blessing is profound. Why? Because it affirms your faith and validates your Christian identity and journey, and adds new members to the parish as well - to worship together, grow in faith, engage in parish life and ministry, and support our church.
There are a few steps that I invite you to go through and complete to make your desire a reality:
|
|
Step 1. |
To eagerly come to the Parish Office, Monday at 2:30-4:30 pm or Tuesday - Friday, |
|
|
|
at 9:30-11:30 am and 2:30-4:30 pm, to signify your desire to become a parishioner. |
|
|
Step 2. |
To fill in a preliminary registration form: "Becoming a Member of the Parish", to |
|
|
|
engage in a 10-15 minute friendly pastoral interview and take a tour to see our parish buildings. |
|
|
Step 3. |
To graciously start attending Mass regularly at Mater Dei. |
|
|
Step 4. |
To enthusiastically attend the Welcome Night and Orientation (done quarterly), |
|
|
|
which will be scheduled for you, to learn more about our life and ministry as a parish. |
It is my hope that by becoming registered members of Mater Dei Parish, you will find a family and community of faith that serves and helps you grow stronger in your faith; and that, together, we may build a welcoming, friendly, and Christian faith community.
May God bless you and your family!
Sincerely,
Rev. Jovencio D. Ricafort
Pastor
