[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 279193, member: 3907"] Eeky, The others have pretty much summed things up. You don't have to cover your head. Wear something fairly conservative, preferably with sleeves (short or long, depending on the weather), in a dark colour. As Marg mentioned, don't be caught off-guard by people genuflecting before they enter the pews. Genuflecting is to go down on one knee, facing the altar, while making the sign of the cross, before taking your seat in the pew. I think it's lovely that you're going to be there to support your friend. I wouldn't get too caught up in the trappings of the Catholic mass. Just be there for your friend, and do what feels right with regard to participating in the service. I don't think anyone will judge you ill, or even notice, if you do something "wrong". They will understand that you're there for your friend, which is a great kindness. Trinity [/QUOTE]
