I’ll preface this with the fact that I’m really not sure where this best fits, so I hope it’s alright to post this question in this particular forum.

Basically, my question is would it be okay to wear sunglasses in church during Mass? (Also, I’m very open to any other suggestions!)

It’s perfectly fine to wear sunglasses at Mass for no reason other than because you like the way they look. :cool: All the more so if there is a medical reason to do so.

Shame on anyone for thinking, let alone saying, anything otherwise. :tsktsk:

:whistle: Now for some lighter reading (and singing) on the topic:

I’d agree - if you need them, wear them!

🙂 Personally, I’d only ask that when not wearing them you don’t hook them on the back of your shirt collar during mass. A gentlemen did that today at the mass I attended and I’m sure he didn’t mean anything but it was a tiny distraction for me since it was iffy every time he sat down on whether they’d hit the back of the pew or not. It was probably just the mom in me, but I kept wanting to intervene to make sure they didn’t hit/make noise. :o

The only problem in my parish on a day its sunny and you are on the sanctuary and the the narthex doors are left open there you get a glare from the cars windscreens. The congregation face a way from it so there is no need to in my parish
 
Thank you all so much for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate everyone’s (name removed by moderator)ut, and I feel much more secure in the idea now. I dislike the idea of having to miss Mass if I know there is a simple solution that can help me go.

Thanks everyone!
 
For the reason you stated, you absolutely should be allowed to wear sunglasses.
