Where do my children go?
Children celebrate Mass with their families. A cry room is available in the chapel and the narthex.
I’m not Catholic. How do I know when to sit, stand and kneel?
No need to be self-conscious. Most visitors simply follow the lead of the people around them.
I’m not Catholic. Can I receive Communion?
Catholics believe the Eucharist is truly the Body and Blood of Christ, so we ask that those who aren’t Catholic not receive. You’re welcome to come forward with your arms crossed over your chest for a blessing.
Am I expected to give at the offering?
If you consider Resurrection your church home, year-round or seasonally, we’d love for you to prayerfully consider giving weekly, by cash or check at Mass or online. Give online →
