Your first visit

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

First step: Come to the 10 am Sunday Mass, then call the rectory at 215-549-3760 to ask about a life group or the Bethany team, or use the parish volunteer form..

You can just show up.

What to expect

Mass is free and open to anyone, with Sunday Masses at 8 and 10 am and a Saturday Mass at 5 pm. Life groups are small groups of about 5 to 12 people who read the coming Sunday's Scriptures together and get to know one another; they form a few times a year. The site does not say whether groups take drop-ins, so ask first.

Tips for your first visit

  • Call the rectory at 215-549-3760 to ask about life groups and the Bethany team, since the site does not say whether groups take drop-ins.
  • Saturday confession runs 4 to 4:45 pm, and you can also book a time by appointment.
  • The site does not describe parking or wheelchair access, so ask before you come if you need those details.

Newcomer welcome

Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: The site has an I'm New section, the Bethany team helps make weekend Mass welcoming, and the life groups page invites newcomers to join a group and says how to ask. The welcome and join pages did not open, so the rating rests on the pages that did..
