Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Come to the Sunday 10:30 am Mass, then email stcharlesborromeo@gmail.com or call 215-735-0600 (weekdays 9 am to 3 pm) to ask about the youth gathering or to volunteer..

You can just show up. No sign up needed.

What to expect

Mass is free and open to the public, with a Saturday vigil at 8 pm and a Sunday Mass at 10:30 am. The Lectio Divina group meets at the rectory at 902 S. 20th Street from 7 to 8 pm, and the site describes it as a Bible reflection session. The first Sunday youth gathering at 4:30 pm includes prayer before the Blessed Sacrament and a shared meal.

Tips for your first visit

  • Call 215-735-0600 on a weekday between 9 am and 3 pm to confirm the day of the week for Lectio Divina, since the site does not give it.
  • The site gives no parking or transit information, so plan your route before you go.
  • If you bring a teen, ask about the first Sunday youth gathering, which the site lists for youth from this and nearby parishes.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The site gives a parish email, a phone line with office hours and an invitation to volunteer, and it marks the youth gathering as open to all. It does not describe a newcomer welcome..
