We understand the many thoughts that can come from visiting a new church, so we want you to feel completely comfortable when you visit. Below are some frequently asked questions. If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to contact us or talk with an usher when you visit.
You can find our Mass Schedule here.

We want you to feel comfortable. After all, we are thrilled that you're joining us and want you to be more focused on the service than what you're wearing. In the summertime, it's not uncommon to see people wearing sandals, shorts, and a shirt. Others prefer to still put on their "Sunday best," and that's fine too! However, we do request that shorts be of a conservative length (no “short-shorts”) and that in general, clothing be respectable and conservative.
Our parish is located at 61 South Paint Street, Chillicothe. Here's a map.
There is parking all around the church - street parking, parking lots on both sides and behind the church.
We want your children to attend Mass with you! There are some children's books and activity pages in the vestibule, and in the case of a really upset little one, we do have a "cry room" in the back of church (right side if you are facing the back of the church).
There’s no need to be self-conscious about the postures and responses used during worship. Most visitors just follow the lead of the our parishioners.
Communion, or The Eucharist, is the most intimate expression of our faith. Catholics believe that the host is literally the body of Christ, transformed from bread by the priest presiding over the service. Most evangelicals think of Communion as symbolic, so it makes sense that they are not as strict about having the right relationship to it as Catholics and Orthodox Christians who believe it is a sacrament and the true presence of Christ. So, if you are not Catholic, we ask that you not receive communion. However, those not receiving the Body of Christ and Precious blood are invited to come forward with their hands crossed over their chests for a special blessing.
If you are visiting with us, we don't expect you to put money in the offering, and you are welcome to just let it pass you by. If you consider our parish your church home, we'd love for you to prayerfully consider giving to our parish on a weekly basis. You can give by check or cash during the service, or you can sign up for online giving here. If you would prefer to have weekly envelopes, please contact the parish office through the form below and they can get you set up.
We do have listening devices for those who need this special assistance. They are located on the tables in the vestibule in the back of the church.
