Register with the Parish

Been worshipping with us for a while? Make it official — registering helps us welcome you properly and serve your family well.

All newcomer guides

Whether you're at St. James in Vernon, St. Benedict's at the Head of the Lake, Our Lady of the Valley in Coldstream, or Sacred Heart in Lumby, you are joining a community of Christians who want to love God, serve others, and make the name of Jesus known. Welcome — we are truly happy you are here.

Why register?

Registration connects you to parish life: offering envelopes if you want them, sacramental records when you need them (baptisms, weddings, sponsor letters), and a parish staff who know your name. It also helps us plan well for the whole community.

How to register

Pick up a registration form at the back of any of our churches or at the parish office (2607 27 Street, Vernon), or call 250-542-1276 and we will mail or email one to you. Once we receive your form, someone from the office will be in touch to welcome you and answer any questions.

Your information is kept confidential within the parish community and is used only to welcome you, connect you with other parishioners, and help your family feel at home.

Ready when you are

Call the office at 250-542-1276, or send us a note and someone will be in touch to welcome you.

Office hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM. Closed Wednesdays.
