I'm New Here

Yes! All are welcome to attend Mass at Mary, Mother of the Church. We hope you will come and join our loving family for this special time. 

We believe that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. Therefore, preparation is required to receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion. If you are not prepared to receive Jesus, you are invited to receive a blessing from the priest by coming forward in the Communion line with your arms crossed. Learn more about the Catholic faith through the OCIA process.
