Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Drop in at a weekday lunchtime Mass or any Sunday Mass. To join the parish, fill in the online registration form on the parish website, or call the office at 215-563-4145..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Mass is free and open to the public. The site does not describe what a visit is like or how long Mass runs. Several Masses are offered each day, so visitors can pick a time that suits them.
Tips for your first visit
- Go to the church at 21 S. 13th St. for Mass. The parish office is a separate address, 1212 Ludlow St.
- The online registration form has five sections and asks about your household and whether you want offering envelopes. A printable PDF is available.
- The site lists no office hours or parish email address, only a contact form and the phone line.
