I have a question

A church tour would be great. Thanks for the information. I believe that the more we learn about one another, the better off we are. I pray for the unity of all Christians. We are already unified through Christ in our hearts.

I have never been in a parish where this is the norm. However, I am aware of it through St. Elias in Ontario. They also do not have pews.

In the 1930’s in the Roman Catholic Church I attended in Pennsylvania, the men and women were separated, men on one side and the women on the other. On the men side, they had clips on back of the pews that were used to hold men’s hats. These clips were not installed on the women’s pews.

Also, all the women did wear hats or a head covering. They did not need these “hat” clips as they wore their coverings during Mass.

This all changed in the early 40’s.

I have a question. Is it true in the Eastern Catholic tradition that women parishoners sit separately from the men? Also, I have heard that women are not allowed to go near the altar? I don’t want to sound disrespectful but I just wanted to know since I have absolutely no knowledge of Eastern Catholiic customs. Thanks for your help.

in syro malabar rite usually women parishoners sit onthe left side of the church and men sit on right side othe church.Most parishes second reading is ear marked for women.so far i have not seen alter girls only alter boys I think time is already past to have alter girls
