We want you to feel comfortable. After all, we are thrilled that you're joining us and want tyou to be more focused on the service than what you're wearing. In summertime, it's not uncommon to see people wearing sandals, shorts and a shirt. Others prefer to still put on their "Sunday best," and that's fine too!

If you are visiting with us, we don't expect you to put money into 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 services, or you can sign up for online giving here.

I’m not Catholic ... so, how do I know when to sit, stand and kneel?

For non-Catholics, or even Catholics who haven’t attended Mass in years, the various postures of  the congregation can be confusing. It can seem like the everyone is standing, sitting or kneeling at random, leaving you with no clue as to what to do next.  In reality, these postures are all designed purposefully and have great symbolism.

Here is a brief slideshow highlighting the main parts of the Mass and the postures of the congregation associated with them.

I’m not Catholic ... is it okay for me to participate in holy communion?

Catholics who are spiritually prepared to receive our Lord in the Eucharist are invited to come forward to receive Holy Communion.   Catholic or non-Catholics, if you are unable to receive Communion, but wish to still come forward in the Communion line, we ask that you indicate that you are not receiving Communion by crossing your hands over your chest so that you can receive a blessing from the Priest or Deacon.

I have a hearing problem. Is there any special assistance?

Both St. Mary and St. John the Baptist have installed a "hearing loop." This allows all sound amplified in church to also be transmitted through a hearing aid right into a person's ear! Those with hearing challenges should switch their hearing aid to the t-coil setting to take advantage of this technology.  Most hearing aids have t-coils, although that feature is not always turned on. The t-coil program is sometimes called the telephone program. If there is a push button on your instrument, it is likely the telecoil program is an option but it may not have been activated by your audiologist. Please contact your audiologist to find out if your instruments have the telecoils.
