What should I wear?

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.

How do I get to San Andres Catholic Church?

Our parish is located at 315 E 100 N Payson, UT 84651-2234. Here is a map.

Where should I park?

On the North side of the building there is a parking lot with space to park. Please note that if you arrive late the main doors to the chapel will be closed once mass has begun. Please enter through the door on the southwest corner of the building if mass has started.

Where do my children go?

There is not a designated area for your children, children should stay with a parent or guardian during mass. If your child is enrolled in catechism classes, they are required to attend mass every Sunday or Saturday. There is a cry room in the back of the chapel for little ones if needed.

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 are still self-conscious you can ask an usher for some pointers.

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. At the beginning of the mass a lector will give instructions for the proper to receive a blessing during communion time if you have not received the blessed sacrament of first 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.
