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 (8 am, 9:30 am in Vietnamese, 11:15 am, or 12:30 pm in Spanish), then call the office at 215-424-1300 to ask about a ministry or the RCIA sessions..

You can just show up.

What to expect

Mass is free, and it is offered in English, Vietnamese and Spanish, so you can pick the time that fits your language. A guitar group plays at the 11:15 am Mass twice a month. The rectory is open 9 am to 5 pm on weekdays, closed noon to 1 pm, if you want to ask about joining.

Tips for your first visit

  • Rectory hours are Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, closed noon to 1 pm, so call before you come by.

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 site lists a phone line and an email, and the ministries page says to contact the parish to join. No newcomer program is described..
