What is an "Active Catholic"?

For Parish verification for sponsor forms, Baptisms, and Marriages, a person must be registered and active in the parish. The Archdiocese of Atlanta defines “active parishioners” as those registered and worshiping members who contribute of their time, talent, and financial resources to support the Parish by the following: Regular attendance at liturgy, consistent financial support through envelopes or online giving, and volunteer involvement within the parish. Volunteer involvement within the parish does not include attendance at events, but requires active membership and participation in one of more of our many ministries.
