• • To receive Holy Communion, one must be a baptized Catholic, in a state of grace, with no mortal sin that has not been absolved by Confession.
  • A fast of at least one hour (no food or drink, except water and medicines) before receiving Holy Communion is required.
  • Modesty - Appropriate, clean attire that exemplifies Christian modesty, dignity and respect is required. Women should wear a dress or skirt that covers the knee. Men should wear a collared shirt, long pants, preferably with a tie and jacket. Tight fitting, low cut, sleeveless and revealing clothing as well as T-shirts, shorts, and clothing with logos are not appropriate.
  • It is customary for women to cover their heads when in the church. Chapel veils can be borrowed from the front table. 1 Corinthians 11:2-16. 
  • Silence shows reverence and supports interior prayer. 
  • If needed, we encourage parents with small children to use the lower level where closed circuit television viewing of the Holy Mass is available.
