It has become a general procedure that statements testifying to the active, participating, contributing status of an individual be provided for those wishing to be sacramental sponsors or receive parishioner rates for Catholic school tuition.

Envelopes
The envelope system helps the Parish Office to determine a household's parishioner status (active or inactive). Weekly envelopes in the Sunday collection basket indicate regular Mass attendance.
Parishioners who donate electronically should place an empty envelope in the collection basket, checking the box labeled "online giving." If using Venmo, please include your parishioner number in the "What's this for" box in the app. Should a parishioner come to Mass without an envelope, he/she may use a blue supplementary envelope (ask an usher).
Visit the parishioner status webpage for more info.

Mass Attendance
"Keep Sunday holy" — this is God's commandment. Faithful attendance at Sunday Mass is the foundation of a Catholic upbringing.
All parishioners must use the envelope system (drop your envelope in the offertory basket at Mass). Sunday family Mass attendance is especially important for families with children enrolled at Christ Our King-Stella Maris School, Bishop England High School, or in our Christian Formation program. Mass attendance is a determining factor for maintaining active parishioner status at both COKSM and BEHS as well as evaluating a child’s readiness to receive First Communion or Confirmation.
Additionally, with a record of regular Mass attendance, you will not have difficulty being certified as an active parishioner of Christ Our King when requesting liturgical services such as baptisms, weddings, and funerals.
