Always confirm service times, location, age range, supervision, and event details directly with the parish before traveling. Inclusion of a link is not blanket theological endorsement of every item on an external site.

For your first visit

You are not expected to know everything.

2Dress respectfully and comfortably
3Tell a greeter or servant you are new

5Stay for one conversation afterward
