Parish Registration & Membership

 Canon Law requires anyone who wishes to be considered a member of a particular parish to be officially registered in the parish.

Also, it is most important that a person be registered and actively participating in order to obtain sponsor cards for baptism and confirmation.  Attending Mass does not automatically mean that a person is a member of the parish.  If you know that you are not registered, are unsure as to your registration status, or are new to St. Peter's or St. Thomas the Apostle Parishes, please call the following Parish Offices to inquire about registering:

St. Peter's - 570-724-3371

St. Thomas the Apostle - 814-258-5121

Also, any child of the parish who has turned twenty-two needs to register independently from his or her parents/guardians in order to be considered a member of the parish.
