What they do

Come to Mass, or ask the rectory about the parish's food cupboard, which takes donations at the rectory office, or about Aid for Friends, where volunteers prepare meals that are picked up and delivered to homebound neighbors. The choir rehearses Wednesdays at 7:45 pm, and a Morning Prayer group meets Monday to Friday at 7:45 am before the 8 am Mass. RCIA for adults and adult Bible study are listed on the parish website.

Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Come to the 9 am or 11 am Sunday Mass, then call the parish at 215-463-1326 about the RCIA program for adults or the adult Bible study..

You can just show up.

What to expect

Mass is free and open to anyone, so you can come and sit without signing up. The parish offers Sunday Masses at 9 and 11 am and a weekday Mass at 8 am. The parish also runs RCIA for adults and an adult Bible study and faith formation program, so ask the office which one fits you.

Tips for your first visit

  • Call the parish at 215-463-1326 to ask about groups; the site lists committees but few contact details.
  • Morning Prayer meets Monday to Friday at 7:45 am, before the 8 am Mass.
  • The Choir rehearses Wednesdays at 7:45 pm if you sing.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Mass is open to anyone, and the parish lists a phone number and separate pages for RCIA and adult faith formation, but it does not say what a first meeting is like..
