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, then download the Registration Form from the parish website and drop it in the Sunday basket or email it to the parish office..
You can just show up. No sign up needed.
What to expect
Sunday Mass is free and open to anyone, at 9 am, 11 am or 7 pm. Coffee and donuts follow the 9 am and 11 am Masses in the parish hall. The young adult group is for adults from about 24 into their thirties, mostly gathers at the 7 pm Mass, and invites newcomers to join in with whatever they bring to the conversation.
Tips for your first visit
- If you want the young adult group, plan on the 7 pm Mass.
- Stay after the 9 am or 11 am Mass for coffee and donuts in the parish hall to meet people.
- The church has a ramp entrance and an accessible restroom if you use a wheelchair.
- Ask the parish office about the 7 pm socials, since the site does not list them.
