If you've never attended Mass, or if it’s been a while, we’re truly glad you're here. Whether you're exploring the faith or simply curious, we know the experience might feel unfamiliar at first. That’s why we've created this simple guide to help you feel more comfortable during your visit.

Have questions or want to talk before visiting? We'd love to welcome you personally.
