OFFICE HOURS: 9AM-2PM Monday & Thursday and 7AM-2PM Tuesday & Friday

                              Wednesday 11AM-2PM

 

This list isn’t exhaustive, but here are some possible examples of requests that we are asking parishioners to call about only during office hours:

 

If you need a Mass Card, Novena Card or Memorial Card please come into the rectory during office hours (Monday-Friday 9am-2pm). The funeral directors do have Novena Cards and Memorial Cards that you may obtain through them and they will hand them over to the church for recording purposes.

 

Looking up old records for family tree information or just want to find a death date, grave site, baptismal record, marriage certificate, etc. call the office ahead of time and Gloria will give you a time to come and look at the books or to pick up a certificate that you might need. The donation suggested for a baptismal certificate, marriage certificate or confirmation certificate is $2.00.

  

Getting married? Call one year in advance to set a date and to find out when and where the pre-cana or engaged encounter classes are being held.

  

Getting a child baptized? You’ll need a packet of information that we give out for you to look over and we have to set a date and time. For your first child, you will need to meet with one of our baptismal preparation couples that will help you go over the information packet and guide you in areas of responsibilities of getting a child baptized.

 

Inquiries regarding bulletin announcements (deadline to be submitted in writing to Gloria by Wednesday morning)

 

Request for changes or information about the schedules of Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, Servers or Greeters

 

If you want to buy a cemetery plot or a crypt in the Mausoleum, call the office at 923-3941 to set up a convenient time to talk about it and to do the paper work. If you have a concern about your loved one’s grave (more grass seed needed, ground has settled, an article near it is gone, etc.) or about something else in the cemetery, Gloria or Kip can assist you during office hours.

 

 

Please do not call to the maintenance person (Kip) or the secretary (Gloria) on weekends. The only exception would be an emergency. A complaint is not an emergency. An emergency could be a loss of heat in the church or school, a broken pipe, etc. If there is a funeral, the funeral directors will contact the secretary or Fr. Jim (to notify them).

 

It is easy to take for granted people that we are familiar with and tend to be critical when something goes wrong. I feel that Gloria and Kip give dedicated and generous service to our parishes. If they have helped you, I would encourage you to let them know from time to time that you appreciate what they have done.
