    There are hymnals that contain prayers, readings, and songs available in the pews. These hymnals will also include a section (in the first few pages) that will give a guide on when to sit, stand, kneel, and respond.

    Don’t worry, even the most comfortable Catholics use this every Sunday, so you won’t stick out.

    If you are not comfortable or cannot use these postures, feel free to remain seated.

    Communion, or Eucharist, in the Catholic Church is the most intimate expression of our faith. We believe that the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ while other Christian denominations view communion as a symbolic gesture. If you are not a practicing Catholic, we ask you to refrain from receiving the Eucharist. We invite you to proceed forward in the communion line with your arms folded over your chest to receive a blessing. Some non-Catholics prefer to remain in their pew which is also acceptable.
