[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would church shop a little. Start with your geographic parish and if you like it, great. Go talk to someone in the parish office. When you call they'll let you know if it's better to meet with a priest or a person in charge of sacraments, but I bet it's the priest. The sacraments/religious ed person is more for logistics. If you're not feeling your parish, go to a few around you on Sundays until you get a sense for them. I'd make sure you find the parish you want first, then reach out. [/quote]

Many dioceses (in this area, the Arlington diocese in particular for example) will expect you to complete the sacraments in your home parish and getting permission to undergo the sacraments and the related religious prep classes required in an outside parish can range from a logistical hassle to infeasible.

Outside of that, your family can of course attend weekly Mass and other services wherever you like and get the best feel from, but I would save yourself the headache and just do the actual baptism/1st communion preparations in your home parish.[/quote]
