The Proper Manners for Church
|
Before anything, I'm going to preach just a bit here. Remember, I'm what is referred to these days as a 'mature' adult - you can read that as middle-aged, set in my ways, from the 'old school', however you wish.
In today's world people are, all too often, totally self-centered and care nothing for the rights and wishes of others. However, being from the 'old school', I believe there are rules that should be observed when visiting God's house: |
*
The sanctuary is a sacred place. Always show respect for God and the Church.
*
Do not talk during Mass (services).
*
Do not bring games or toys to church.
*
Try to go to the restroom before church. If you must go during mass, leave by the back door and be as quiet as possible.
*
Do not stand on the seats or put your feet on the back of the pew in front of you.
*
Take your bulletin and other papers with you after Mass.
*
Always walk in the sanctuary.
*
Do not eat food or candy, chew gum or take anything to drink into the sanctuary.
*
Take good care of church property and buildings.
*
Be kind to other people.
*
Be a good listener.
