Frequently asked questions
May I attend a worship service if I have not been baptised?
Yes, of course! Our worship services are open to everyone. Come and listen, join in the singing, or simply be present. The church is the house of God, where everyone is welcome.
When are worship services held?
Sundays at 10:00 – Holy Mass
Wednesdays at 18:00 – weekday Mass
Mass in Finnish – on the third Sunday of each month at 12:30
What should I do in church? How should I behave?
Attending church is simple:
- Arrive a little before the service begins so that you can take a hymn book and find a seat
- Dress respectfully, but comfortably
- The order of service is in the service booklet, and the hymn numbers are displayed on the boards. You are also welcome simply to listen
- Holy Communion is received by those who are baptised and prepared. If you would prefer to receive a blessing, kneel with the communicants and place your right hand over your heart
- After the service, everyone is welcome for coffee in the confirmation hall
Please do not hesitate to ask questions – members of the congregation will be happy to help!
