Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Come to any Mass on the schedule, or call the rectory at 215-627-2386 to arrange a visit with a priest..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Mass is free and open to anyone, and the 11 am Sunday Mass is in Spanish, so choose the time that fits your language. If you want to talk with a priest, the bulletin asks you to make an appointment by phone first. Weekday Masses are at 7 am, 12:15 pm and 5:30 pm.
Tips for your first visit
- Call the rectory at 215-627-2386 before you come if you want to meet a priest.
- Confession is offered Monday to Saturday at 11:45 am and 5 pm, and on Sunday at 10:30 am in Spanish.
- The rectory office is open Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm.
- The parish listing does not describe parking or transit, so ask the rectory before you come.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The March 2026 parish bulletin calls the parish welcoming and diverse and asks people to make an appointment by phone with a priest. The parish website could not be opened, and no newcomer program is listed..
