No worries! Everyone is welcome to the Catholic Mass, regardless of your belief. We will have programs to help you follow along. Anyone can attend, and we welcome you! For those who are not practicing Catholics, we ask that during distribution of the Eucharist you either proceed with everyone in the line with your arms crossed to receive a blessing, or stay seated, whichever is most comfortable for you.

There will be a section on your RSVP for you to note your allergy - we will try our best to accommodate!
