Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Come to a Sunday Mass (7:30, 9:30 or 11:30 am) or the weekday Mass at 12:05 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, or call the rectory at 215-923-1733..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Mass is free and open to anyone. Sunday Masses are at 7:30, 9:30 and 11:30 am, and weekday Mass is at 12:05 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The Archdiocese listing says you ask the priest presiding at daily Mass to hear your confession, and it does not say how long Mass runs or what to wear.
Tips for your first visit
- The church is at 4th and Walnut Streets; the Archdiocese lists the rectory at 321 Willings Alley.
- The church has an assistive listening system, as the Archdiocese listing describes.
- Call the rectory at 215-923-1733 to confirm holy day times before you come.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Mass is open to anyone, the Archdiocese listing gives a rectory phone, and no newcomer program is listed..
