Receiving sacraments

In Paul Turner's Blog by Paul Turner

Q: Do those receiving sacraments at the Easter Vigil need to be registered parishioners? Should they be?

A: There’s no rule, but golly they should be.

I’ve had situations where someone tells me that they are a member. After all, they were baptized here. But we have no record of them. Yes, register them for the good of the parish.
