Question

I'm not Catholic. How do I participate?

Answer

We are delighted to share our faith with our Catholic and non-Catholic brothers and sisters. Please dress appropriately and modestly out of respect for the Church and Mass. If you are not Catholic, you may not receive the Eucharist, but you may approach the priest for a blessing by crossing your arms in front of your chest or remain seated quietly. If you are Catholic and able to receive, please join us in receiving our Lord Jesus in the Eucharist!
