Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Come to any Sunday Mass, including the Saturday 4 pm vigil, then meet with the parish after Mass to register..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Registration is a meeting with the parish after Mass, which is how new parishioners start. The site does not describe a typical Sunday visit, how long Mass runs, or what to wear. Children must be registered before the first day of religious education class, and the site says children are not registered on the first day.
Tips for your first visit
- The rectory is open Monday to Thursday, 9 am to 4 pm, and Friday, 9 am to 1 pm. It is closed on weekends; the FAQ says Saturdays are by appointment, which the footer does not match.
- Register children for PREP before the first class, since the site says no child is registered on the first day.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The FAQ says staff meet people after any Sunday Mass to register, and Mass is open to anyone; no newcomer program is described..
Cost and commitment
- Cost
- Low cost. Mass is free to attend. Children's religious education (PREP) has a yearly registration fee per child: $125 for one child, $100 each for two, and $90 each for three or more (2025 to 2026 rates).
