African American Catholic Ministry

Dress Code: Catholic services typically call for modest, respectful attire; many members wear business or semi-formal clothing. Service Format: Most Catholic parishes celebrate the liturgy with scripture readings, homily, and sacramental worship; specific Mass times should be confirmed by contacting the church. Visitor Tips: Arrive early to find parking and to acclimate to the space; Catholic churches typically have kneelers and follow a set liturgical format; visitors unfamiliar with Catholic practice are always welcome to observe and participate at their own comfort level.
