What they do

Pray in the Lower Church chapel, which is open most of the day, or come to Night Prayer at 9 pm. Thursday evenings bring a 7 pm Holy Hour with confessions. The parish page describes a young adult group for people in their 20s and 30s that meets Thursday evenings, with adoration and confession at 7 pm and a faith discussion at 8 pm in the parish hall. Becoming Catholic (OCIA) meets Mondays from 7 to 8:30 pm in the Parish Hall, and the parish lists pages for its ministry to the poor, pro-life work and liturgical ministries, though those pages give no details.

Your first visit

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

First step: Come to any listed Mass or sit in the chapel, then fill out the pre-registration form and return it to the office, or give it to a priest after Mass, if you want to join the parish..

You can just show up.

What to expect

Mass is free and open to anyone, so you can come and sit quietly. Masses are held in the Upper Church, and the Lower Church chapel is open most of the day for quiet prayer. If you want to join the parish, the next step after sending in the form is a short visit with the parish to get to know you.

Tips for your first visit

  • Grab a bulletin and hymnal on the way in at the Upper Church.
  • The church is at 242 S. 20th St., at 20th and Locust.
  • Call (215) 735-9900 to ask for the current pre-registration form, since the linked flier's file name mentions 2018.

Newcomer welcome

Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: The join page explains how a new person starts, with a pre-registration form and then a meeting with the parish, and Mass and the chapel need no sign-up; the linked flier's file name includes 2018, so confirm it is current..
