Whether you've been away from Church for a while, attend regularly, or plan to have family and friends from out of town joining you for Mass, we welcome you and look forward to your coming to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior at our Christmas Masses. Here's what you can expect:

Our 4:00 PM Christmas Eve Mass is typically very crowded. If you want a seat in church, it is strongly recommended that you arrive at least 40 minutes early, as the church fills to capacity quickly. If the church is full, there is additional seating in the church chapel and in the parish auditorium. Those in the auditorium will be able to watch a live-stream of the Mass, and Holy Communion will be brought to them at the appropriate time. Expect Mass to be at least 60 minutes. The parking lot will also be full during this time, so patience will be needed exiting the lot due to the volume of traffic. There is an additional evening Mass at 7:00 PM on Christmas Eve, which is ideal for those wishing to avoid the crowds of the early evening Mass.

The Masses Christmas Day, are typically an hour, and one can generally expect lighter crowds than the Christmas eve Masses. Our 10 AM Mass will be live-streamed via our Facebook page.

The process is easy and costs nothing as you are merely redirecting 90% your PA tax liability directly to BLOCS to support Catholic Education.
