After all, we are thrilled that you're joining us and want you to be more focused on the service than what you're wearing.
How do I get to the church?
Where should I park?
Here is a map of our campus with the available parking.
Where do my children go?
All children, all ages, are welcomed as part of our parish community at all of our services. At the 11:00 am (English) and the 1:00 p.m. (Spanish) masses we regularly have the children's liturgy where the Seeds of Faith Ministry helps the children from 5 - 10 years old to learn about the scriptures and our faith.
I’m not Catholic, how do I know when to sit, stand and kneel?
There’s no need to be self-conscious about the postures and responses used during worship. Most visitors just follow the lead of the our parishioners. We do have hospitality ministers at the entrance of the church that will gladly welcome you, accompany you and guide you where you can learn more about our catholic faith.
I’m not Catholic, is it okay for me to participate in communion?
Communion, or The Eucharist, is the most intimate expression of our faith. Catholics believe that the host is literally the body of Christ, transformed from bread by the priest presiding over the service. Most evangelicals think of Communion as symbolic, so it makes sense that they are not as strict about having the right relationship to it as Catholics and Orthodox Christians who believe it is a sacrament and the true presence of Christ.
So, if you are not Catholic, we ask that you not receive communion.
However, those not receiving the Body of Christ and Precious blood are invited to come forward with their hands crossed over their chests for a special blessing.
Am I expected to put money in the offering?
If you are visiting with us, we don't expect you to put money in the offering, and you are welcome to just let it pass you by. If you consider our parish your church home, we'd love for you to prayerfully consider giving to our parish on a weekly basis. You can give by check or cash during the service, or you can sign up for online giving here.
