Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Come to the 10 am Sunday Mass in English or the 11:30 am Mass in Polish, then call the parish office at 215-535-6667 to ask about the Scouts, the senior groups, or the faith formation classes..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Mass is free to attend, and you can come and sit without signing up. The 8 am Sunday Mass is quiet with no organ music, and the 10 am Mass has organ music. The 11:30 am Mass is in Polish.
