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 am Mass at the church at 43rd and Wallace Streets. To ask about religious education or the food pantry, call the parish at 215-386-5065..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Mass is free and open to anyone, so you can come and sit. For food help, the pantry asks you to show identification and apply before you get a bag of groceries, and pickups happen once a month. Children's religious education meets on Sundays after Mass for PREP, with Saturday morning classes for sacramental preparation.
Tips for your first visit
