Hospitality
From the moment you arrive, we want you to feel at home. Our greeters and ushers are available before and after every Mass to answer questions, help you find a seat, or point you in the right direction. Whether it's your first visit or your first time back in a while, we're here to help make your experience comfortable and welcoming.
Parking
Ample parking is available on the south and east sides of the church. All main church entrances are open before weekend Masses, making it easy to enter from either parking lot. Our greeters will be there to welcome you and help you find your way.
Children
Children are always welcome at Mass! We love having families worship with us and believe children are an important part of our parish community. Children's Missals are available in every pew to help young worshippers follow along, and families with infants and toddlers are welcome to use the Mass bags available in our Family Room. If your little one needs a quieter space, our Family Room overlooks the sanctuary and provides live audio from the Mass, allowing you to remain fully connected to the celebration while caring for your child.
Worship
Our celebration of the Mass is sacred and joyful, rooted in tradition and centered on Jesus Christ. We warmly welcome visitors and those of all faith traditions to join us in prayer. Because Catholics believe the Eucharist is the true Body and Blood of Christ and a sign of our full communion with the Catholic Church, Holy Communion is ordinarily received by practicing Catholics who are properly prepared. If you are not receiving Communion, we invite you to come forward with your arms crossed over your chest to receive a simple blessing, or to remain in your pew and join the congregation in prayer during this sacred time.
What to Expect at All Saints
Accessibility
We want everyone to feel welcome and able to participate fully in the celebration of the Mass. Accessible entrances with automatic doors are located on the south side of the church (circle drive) and on the east side near the choir entrance. Wheelchair-accessible seating is available at both the front and back of the church, and hearing assistance devices are available for those who need them. If there is anything we can do to make your visit more comfortable, please don't hesitate to ask one of our greeters or contact the parish office before your visit.
What to Wear
Come as you are! There is no dress code at All Saints, but because we gather to worship God in the sacred celebration of the Mass, we encourage attire that is modest and respectful, reflecting the reverence of the occasion.
Community
At All Saints, you will find more than a place to worship. You will find a community of faith. People of every age and stage of life come together to pray, serve, and grow in Christ. Whether you're visiting for the first time or searching for a parish to call home, we hope you'll quickly feel welcomed and discover a place where you truly belong.
