REGISTERING | TRANSFERING FROM ANOTHER PARISH | BECOMING A CATHOLIC

REGISTERING
We believe that Good Shepherd is a rather unique parish family and, as you spend some time here, we hope you'll agree. We invite you to worship with us, to socialize with us, and to share our work.

Even if your stay in State College is for a relatively short time, you should register as a member of one of the two local parishes or with the Penn State Catholic Center. Parish membership has a special importance when baptisms and weddings occur. If you would like to become a member of Good Shepherd, there are just a few simple procedures to follow:

How to Register
Father Charlie would like to meet personally with each new parishioner. Please call the parish office to schedule an appointmen with him and to pick up your registration form.

The Registration Form
The registration form consists of two parts:

1. A family form
2. Member forms (one for each member of your family living full- or part-time within your home)

Since our records are computerized, their accuracy depends in large measure on the information we receive from you. Once you've registered, please help us to keep up to date by notifying us of any appropriate changes, e.g., home address, telephone number, place of employment, etc. Please call the church office if you have any questions.

Returning the Form
You may return the registration forms to the church office in person, drop them in the collection basket at church or mail them to the office.
