What should I wear?

We want you to feel comfortable. After all, we are happy 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 great. However, we do request that shorts be of a conservative length (no “short-shorts”) and that in general, clothing be modest and conservative. Please avoid any clothing which would cause another attendee to be distracted from the Mass.

How do I get to The Basilica of St. Stanislaus Kostka?

The Basilica is located on East 4th Street between Carimona St. and Zumbro St.  Here is a map.

Where should I park?

Street parking is readily available. Parking is now available in the cleared lot also.

Where do my children go?

We encourage families to attend Mass together.  There is a cry room available if needed at the back of the choir loft.

I’m not Catholic, how do I know when to sit, stand and kneel?

There’s no need to be self-conscious about the postures and responses used during worship. Most visitors just follow the lead of our parishioners. If you come often, you will soon learn the responses and feel at home.

I’m not Catholic, is it okay for me to participate in communion?

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 with 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. It is also perfectly fine to remain in your pew during Communion.

Am I expected to put money into the offering?

If you are visiting with us, we don't expect you to put money into 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.
