Registration Communication
April 30, 2018
Good afternoon,
     You are receiving this email because you either have a child enrolled in 2nd grade at SMV for the 2018-19 school year or you had a child in our 2017-18 1st grade Catholic Formation program.  
     Attached is the 2018-19 First Sacraments Registration form.  Please fill this out and return it to the Parish office along with the $55.00 sacrament fee.  If your child was not baptized at St. Mary's Visitation, please provide the Parish office with a copy of your child's baptismal certificate (we do not need this immediately, but preferably by August 2018).  
NOTE:  In order for your child to receive sacraments at St. Mary's Visitation, you must be a registered member of SMV.   If you are not a registered member of St. Mary's Visitation and belong to a different parish, we will need a signed letter from your parish priest saying that it is okay for your child to receive the sacraments here at SMV.  

Thank you,
Elizabeth Harrison
St. Mary's Visitation Child Minister
