Appropriate Attire for Mass

It's great to see so many people coming to Mass at Sant Jordi, but I want to use this opportunity that although the weather is hot we should still dress appropriately for the celebration of Mass.

Please don't come to Mass in beachwear, or T-shirts or tops with inappropriate slogans written on them.

Mass is a joyous, yet solemn celebration of the Lord's Sacrifice and so has an inherent dignity to it. We recognise that dignity outwardly by our clothing - smart, and not too casual; and bodily gestures - such as whispering to our neighbour, making the Sign of the Cross, bowing from the waist, and of course, genuflection to the Real Presence of Christ on the Altar and in the Tabernacle.
