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 at 9 am, 11 am or 6 pm. To start the adult class, register for the session that begins Sept. 22, 2026..

You can just show up.

What to expect

Mass is free and open to anyone, and the site does not say how long it runs. The adult class is a small, informal Tuesday evening group from 6:30 to 8 pm in the Parish Center, where you can ask questions about the Catholic faith. You can attend as a curious adult without joining; full attendance is required only for adults preparing to become Catholic.

Tips for your first visit

  • Park in the church lot at the Cresson Street entrance near Pensdale, or use on-street parking on Mass days.
  • For the adult class, register through the parish registration page or call the office.
  • Call 215-482-4600 with questions. The office is open Monday to Thursday, 9 am to 4 pm, and Friday until 3 pm.
