Someone recently gave me a bulletin from a parish they visited while out of state. It contained a two-page article on the subject of "What You Wear in Church." This is a subject which elicits many strong opinions almost anywhere you happen to be. The article I mentioned points out that even if "immodest" or "improper dress" does not offend God, it can and does offend some of our brothers and sisters in the pew. It goes on to say that dressing well can assist the community in praying well, and that dressing appropriately is a sign of respect for our brothers and sisters in Christ. I believe that these are good points, and I feel that we are blessed to belong to a faith family that dresses well for Mass. I personally don't feel the need to bring this subject up at church. I pray that our parishioners who have children and/or grandchildren visit during the summer, will be blessed to have them coming to Mass with them and that all of us will be respectful to God and others in all ways.
