VISITING A NEW CHURCH CAN BE INTIMIDATING

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? WHERE DO I PARK? WHERE DO MY KIDS GO?

We understand the many thoughts that can come from visiting a new church, so we want you to feel completely comfortable when you visit. Below are some frequently asked questions. If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to contact us or talk with an usher when you visit. If you want more information on Mass etiquette, please click HERE.

We want you to feel comfortable. After all, we are thrilled that you're joining us and want you to be more focused on the service than what you're wearing. In the summertime, it's not uncommon to see people wearing sandals, shorts, and a shirt. Others prefer to still put on their "Sunday best," and that's fine too! However, we do request that shorts be of a conservative length (no “short-shorts”) and that in general, clothing be respectable and conservative.

St. Peter's Catholic Church is located at 200 Lafayette Parkway, LaGrange, GA. Here is a map.

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton is located at 2904 Judson Bulloch Road, Warm Springs, GA.

There’s no need to be self-conscious about the postures and responses used during worship. Most visitors just follow the lead of the our parishioners. 

Communion, or The Eucharist, is the most intimate expression of our faith. Catholics believe that the host is literally the body of Christ, transformed from bread by the priest presiding over the service. Most evangelicals think of Communion as symbolic, so it makes sense that they are not as strict about having the right relationship to it as Catholics and Orthodox Christians who believe it is a sacrament and the true presence of Christ. So, if you are not Catholic, we ask that you not receive communion. However, those not receiving the Body of Christ and Precious blood are invited to come forward with their hands crossed over their chests for a special blessing.
