P ARISH REGISTRATION: We give a heartfelt welcome to all new parishioners. Registration forms
are available in the front vestibule and side entrances of the church and at the parish office during regular office hours In order that our priests better serve you, especially at the time of baptism, marriage, or a funeral, it is most helpful if you are registered and participating in our parish community.
B APTISM: If you are seeking baptism for your infant to 5 year old, we ask that at least one parent be
registered at St. Clare for six months prior to baptism. The parents are asked to attend a pre-baptism class. Please call the parish office to register for baptism and pre-baptism classes.

H OSPITAL/HOME, HOLY COMMUNION, AND SICK VISITS: For Holy Communion, please contact the
parish office during office hours. A Priest or Eucharistic Minister will visit you and attend to your needs. In case of hospitalization, please inform the admissions office that you are Catholic, so that they will be able to notify us. In case of an emergency or death in the family, a priest can be reached 24 hours a day. Call the parish office number anytime for an emergency pager number.
M ARRIAGE: The bride and/or groom must be registered and actively participating in the parish
for at least three months. Then, a six-month preparation program is required. Please call the office for further information.

first grade and running through high school. For more information, contact the office of Religious Education at 252-6950.
Our parish has become so large, the only way we have of verifying Mass attendance is by use of Sunday envelopes. (This is significant when requiring services from the church i.e., baptism or marriage.)
