Welcome, Newcomers!
If this is the first time you have
attended the Traditional Latin Mass, you may have noticed that our
parishioners do not dress casually in the church. Since the changes in
the church, few parishes have any kind of dress code. Here, however, we
still believe that modesty and appropriate attire are necessary,
especially in church, out of reverence for the Blessed Sacrament. Please
observe these minimum standards of dress for attendance at St. Joseph's
Church services: Women and girls should cover their heads (chapel veils
or mantillas are available for loan in the vestibule). Women and girls
should wear dresses or skirts that cover the knee completely when
standing or sitting. Jeans and other casual attire are inappropriate for
Church worship. Also, be aware that Holy Communion is received
exclusively from the priest and while you are kneeling. If you have any
questions, we hope that you take the opportunity to meet with Father
after Mass. We are always happy to see new faces at St. Joseph's and we
hope to see you again soon.
