Every parishioner, whether you use envelopes or not, must fill out the registration form and return it to St. Peter Church, 134 Convent Ave., Rutland by March 31. The purpose of the registration form is to update our records for the new computer program. If you do not return the registration form, we will assume that you do not want to be a registered parishioner.
