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. To ask about joining as an adult, call the parish office at (215) 634-1133..

You can just show up.

What to expect

Mass is offered in Spanish, English or Vietnamese, depending on the service you pick. The parish lists no sign-up for attending Mass. The parish pages do not say how long Mass lasts or what happens afterward, so ask the office if you want to know more.

Tips for your first visit

  • Pick the language you want: Spanish at 8 and 10 am on Sunday, English at 9:30 am and Saturday at 5 pm, Vietnamese at 11 am.
  • Call the office at (215) 634-1133 for directions, since the parish pages give two addresses.
  • Confession is on Saturday from 4 to 5 pm, or by appointment, if you want it before Mass.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Masses are open to anyone, and the parish lists a phone number and an email for questions. The parish pages do not describe a newcomer program for adults, so the adult program needs a phone call..
