We understand the many thoughts that can come from visiting a new church, so we want you to feel completely comfortable when you visit. Below are some frequently asked questions. If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to contact us or talk with an usher when you visit.
You can find our Mass Schedule here:

We definitely want you to be comfortable. But while we don’t have a dress code, we are aware that when we gather for Mass, we gather to worship the Lord, and so we generally dress in a manner that reflects that desire to please God.
Directions to our church can be found here.
You are welcome to park in any spot in the upper or lower parking lot.
We believe that the best place for your children during Mass is with you! We do have glassed quieting rooms on either side of the sanctuary that still allow you to see and hear the Mass if your children are upset and you need a few moments to help calm them. We also have a collection of books and quiet toys in the gathering space you can use during Mass any time.
It may seem a little strange at first, but you’ll catch on quickly. Just follow along. Trust us, no one is judging you.
The Eucharist we share is the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ; and is the ultimate sign of Christian unity. Sadly, because we humans are imperfect, the Body of Christ is marked by division, and so as much as we desire that everyone receive Communion, it is reserved for those who are in full unity with the Catholic Church. If you are not Catholic, you’re free to come forward with your hands crossed over your chest to receive a blessing.
We do take up a collection in the middle of Mass, and our offering is a demonstration of our thanks to God for all the gifts He’s given us. If you feel moved to share your gratitude with us, we’d be very grateful, but your contribution is not required.
We have hearing assistance devices available in the Gathering Space. Simply ask one of our Greeters, and they’ll be happy to show you how to access them.
We do have low gluten hosts, always distributed by the priest who presides at Mass. To make sure you receive one, grab a white plastic cross from the basket in the Gathering Space, get in the presider’s line at Communion, and place the cross in the palm of your hand when you go forward.
Initiation into the Catholic Faith usually occurs at the Easter Vigil Mass. Adults who have not been baptized receive Baptism in conjunction with Eucharist and Confirmation through the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA). Adults who have been previously baptized will also go through the OCIA process and be received into the church after a Profession of Faith. Contact Joe Ollier 253-5171 x112 for more information, or check out our OCIA or Becoming Catholic webpages.
That's okay, you can contact us anytime with questions!
