Keep Us Posted—We Care!

Whether you registered as a parishioner seven years ago or seven times seven years ago, things change. Your household grows as you welcome babies; it shrinks as your adult children move out to pursue a career. Elderly parents may move in with you or someone in your family may need to be moved to a skilled nursing care facility. You may upsize or downsize, moving within or out of the parish boundaries.

We care about the changes in your life, so please keep us informed if you or one of your loved ones is hospitalized or moves into assisted living or a nursing home. (Unlike in years past, when hospitals routinely would notify us if a parishioner was admitted, they no longer do so. It’s incumbent on the patient or a family member to let us know.)

Let us know when you’re moving—we may not join your painting party, but we will update our records.

And please explain to your children that once they’re out of your home and living independently, they need to register on their own. (Making their First Communion and/or Confirmation here does not mean that they’re “registered parishioners for life.”) Registering is a simple task that can be accomplished in the parish office or online at www.ols-sa.org but is very helpful when the time comes to request a letter of eligibility to serve as a sponsor for baptism or confirmation as well as letters of reference or recommendation.
