What to expect on a first visit

Mass follows the familiar Catholic rhythm of readings, homily, and Eucharist. Visitors are welcome to participate as they're comfortable; non-Catholics typically remain seated or come forward for a blessing during Communion. Music is chanted liturgy, largely a cappella. Children's programming or nursery care is available. If you'd rather look before you visit, services are streamed online.
