Parish Registration – Sacred Heart Catholic Church

Welcome! We are excited that you would like to register with us here at Sacred Heart!

Sacred Heart is reliant on the stewardship of its “active parishioners.” To us, registration means making a commitment to worship with us, to be active in ministry, and to contribute financially, so that you have a deeply faith-oriented sense of belonging to our Catholic community here in downtown Tampa. And as a welcoming parish, we love having the opportunity to meet and get to know all of our parishioners, but in turn we also want you to get to know us.

None

Parishioners with immediate sacramental needs are invited to register with their parish of canonical responsibility.

What is your sacramental need?

Please indicate that you understand the following parochial rules related to Marriage requests.(Required)

I understand that prior to any wedding arrangements being made, a bride or groom must be registered and an active member in the parish for a minimum of one year. The parish will not accept potential brides or grooms who register with the parish for the sole purpose of being married at Sacred Heart Church. Those who have active familial connections to the parish, and are registering with Sacred Heart for the first time on their own will receive due consideration.

What is your administrative need?

Example: Letters or forms confirming parish affiliation, etc. (Requests for these forms are subject to pastor approval following an establishment period)
