Taking a friend to her first mass

[AndrewF1995]

I don’t think anyone’s mentioned it- make sure it’s a beautiful church. Maybe even a cathedral, if one’s handy, and make a tour of it after Mass: here’s our ambo, stations of the cross, our pieta statue, our Sacred Heart statue, aren’t the candles nice, this is a confessional, that’s a baptismal font, those are the sacred oils from the Chrism Mass, etc. etc. Assembly of God churches (around here, anyway) are sort of …boxy. Not that we can say anything, several parishes around here are completely stripped of any art or color. Yay beige.

Oh yes, I will make sure its a very beautiful church. I know of a church around here that is very beautiful and says great Ordinary form masses!
