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 (the noon Mass is in Spanish), then call 215-726-1119 or use the parish contact form to ask about religious education or the parish school..
You can just show up. No sign up needed.
What to expect
Mass is free and open to the public, in English at most times and in Spanish at noon on Sundays. The site does not describe a welcome step or a family sign up, so the phone call or contact form is the way to ask about religious education.
Tips for your first visit
