Roman Catholic parishes follow a structured liturgy called the Mass, celebrated worldwide in the same order.

• Mass lasts about an hour and includes Scripture readings, a homily, hymns, and Holy Communion.
• Visitors are welcome. Only baptized Catholics in good standing receive Communion; others come forward with arms crossed for a blessing.
• Dress is modest but not formal — business casual is typical for Sunday Mass.
