How Do I . . . . . ?

. . . Become a Parishioner?

Registration lets us know you are a member of our parish. You are very important to our parish family!   To register, contact the parish office at 573-351-1107 or download the registration form. Forms are also available in the vestibule of the church.  Simply fill out the form and drop it in the collection basket during Mass.  We are blessed to have you in our parish.

. . . I used to Be Catholic.  How do I return?

How do I come back?  The best way to begin is to come to Mass. You could talk with a priest or call us. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is offered on Saturdays from 5:15-5:45PM and on Sunday from 8:15-8:45 AM.  You could also schedule an appointment with one of our priests by calling 573-351-1107 to discuss how to come back or if you have questions.
