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.
