We invite you to register at the Church Office during office hours, pick up a Welcome Packet on the
Welcome Table in the Gathering Area or here by going to our Member Registration page.
Though a rather simple act, registration is a sign of one’s commitment and responsibility to the parish and allows the parish to know how many families are registered in the parish. It also provides an official record of your active membership and is essential for participation in parish programs and sacraments.
What is an Active Membership: three points determine active membership:
• Registration in the parish for a sufficient period of time and use of the envelope system in support of
the parish;
• Faithful attendance at Mass on Sundays and Holy Days;
• Volunteer and participate in Parish activities with time, talent, and treasure as means permit.
Please note the Facilities and Services of Good Shepherd Church are available to active members.
Emergencies: In cases of emergency, please contact the Parish Office during regular business hours. After hours, please call Deacon Pat at (910) 818-0801.
