You can expect a welcoming environment centered around prayer and worship. At Mass, we gather to hear readings from Scripture, listen to a homily (a reflection on the readings), and celebrate the Eucharist. Visitors are always welcome—there’s no need to register in advance.

No. Anyone is welcome to attend Mass. While only practicing Catholics may receive the Eucharist, all are invited to participate in prayer and reflection.

There is no strict dress code, but you should generally choose modest and respectful attire. You’ll see a range—from casual to more formal—so come as you are.

Weekend Masses, or Holy Days are typically around one hour, and most weekday Masses last about 30 minutes.

There is some parking in front of the church, or on the street, along with a larger parking lot in the back.

Holy Communion is reserved for baptized Catholics who are in a state of grace. If you are not receiving, you are welcome to remain seated or come forward for a blessing.

When coming forward for a blessing, you should look for the line with the Priest, and approach with your arms crossed across your chest.

These postures are part of our shared worship and express reverence, attentiveness, and prayer.

Adults interested in becoming Catholic participate in Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA), a process of learning, prayer, and discernment that leads to receiving the Sacraments of Initiation. Find more information here.

You can contact the church office at (330)492-0757, or find our online registration here.

We have many opportunities for involvement.

You are also welcome at our upcoming events!

Absolutely. You are always welcome. Many people return after time away, and the Church is glad to receive you. It is necessary, however, to first receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation before again receive Holy Communion.

That’s completely okay—just follow along as best you can or remain seated. No one expects visitors to know everything.

Yes. You are welcome to come, observe, and explore at your own pace.
