Guidelines for proper dress at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Guidelines for proper dress at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Due to the ongoing deterioration of Western Civilization, and the general relaxation of attitudes governing modesty and propriety in dress, it has become necessary for the lay custodians of St. Jude Shrine to remind the faithful who attend Holy Mass and devotions at the shrine what is expected of them regarding their attire while present in the House of God. The following standards in dress are required of those who wish to attend Mass at St. Jude’s.
A visual illustration of an appropriate Mass outfit is provided on this page, as well as a detailed list of clothing that is permitted and prohibited inside of the church.
Thank you for your cooperation.
