Etiquette of Mass for a Non-Catholic

[Mr_Fausto]

Welcome home!!! Awesome! As far as I know, you can attend Mass, make spiritual communion (perhaps praying for a spiritual communion during the Communion rite, that would be the best thing). You could also attend Eucharistic adoration and if their is a Benediction and Devotions service for your church you could always participate in that. I know the RCIA experience, its awesome and then when you receive the sacraments for the first time, wow! You’re in a wonderful journey!

Not a catholic yet - what can I do in church?

That is so great you are thinking of becoming Catholic! The Church has a place for everyone, no matter his or her particular gifts.

Welcome to your journey into the Catholic Church!

Feel free to attend Mass as often as you like and participate in the prayers.

When others go up to receive Communion, you can make a “spiritual Communion,” telling Jesus that you believe in His presence in the Eucharist and desire very much to receive Him. This “longing” for the Eucharist will bring you many graces and help prepare you for the day when you can receive Him sacramentally.
