Where are you located?
Where can I park?

What is the dress code?
We ask that all attire be modest and respectful of the sacredness of the Mass. While there is no strict dress code, clothing that covers shoulders and falls at a reasonable length is appreciated.
Where do my children go?
Children are always welcome in the church! We encourage them to participate in Mass with their families. For younger children, Kindergarten and younger, we offer a nursery during 10:30am and 12:30pm Mass times.
I'm not Catholic. How do I know when to sit, stand, and kneel?
You are welcome here, even if you’ve never attended a Catholic Mass. There are times when we sit, stand, and kneel, but you don’t need to memorize anything. Just follow the congregation or participate in whatever way you feel comfortable. We’re grateful you’re here.
I'm not Catholic. Is it okay for me to participate in communion?
The Eucharist is the real presence of Jesus Christ and is a sign of unity in faith. For that reason, Holy Communion is reserved for Catholics who are in a state of grace and have prepared to receive. If you are not Catholic, or if you prefer not to receive Communion, you are invited to remain in your pew or come forward with arms crossed to receive a blessing.
