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

  • Sunday Masses are at 8 am, 10 am and noon, and the noon Mass is in Spanish.
  • Call 215-726-1119 or use the contact form to ask about classes for children.
  • Sign up for the parish email updates on the site if you want news.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The site offers an email update sign up and a contact form, but it does not describe a newcomer program or any step for visitors beyond attending Mass..
