frequently asked questions

Do I need to be Catholic to attend Mass?

At Mass, you will experience Scripture readings, prayer, music, and the celebration of the Eucharist. You are welcome to participate as you feel comfortable. Many people sit, stand, and kneel at different times—feel free to follow along or simply observe. Our community is happy to welcome you.

Check our Mass schedule to find a time that works for you. We suggest arriving 15 minutes early so you can get comfortable before Mass begins.

Ample parking is available for all parishioners and visitors, with spaces on the church level as well as in the basement. Parking is free on Sundays.

Our current schedule for Mass, Confession, and Eucharistic Adoration can be found on the Mass Schedule page of our website. Please check there for the most up-to-date times, as schedules may vary due to holy days or special celebrations.

There is no strict dress code. We encourage modest, respectful attire, but most importantly, come as you are. Our parish community includes people dressed in everything from casual to formal.

Holy Communion is reserved for practicing Catholics who are properly prepared. Visitors and non-Catholics are warmly invited to come forward for a blessing by crossing their arms over their chest, or to remain seated during Communion.
