Men are generally expected to wear collared shirts and slacks, while women can wear dresses, skirts, or slacks. Jeans and more casual attire are also perfectly acceptable.

The service format follows the standard Catholic Mass structure - beginning with an opening procession, followed by readings from the Bible, a homily (sermon) from the priest, prayers, communion, and a closing blessing. You can follow along in the missalette provided in the pew. Feel free to stand, sit, or kneel as the congregation does.
