I think it would be a nice experiment and generally try to blend in as a recent Catholic convert. I'd confess my sins, converse with other Catholics, learn what they believe and why the believe it, and attend mass like everyone else, and any other Church events as long as it doesn't conflict with work. And blog about of all this.
As a recent convert, you won't confess. There's a rather rigorous training program for new Catholics, unless you're planning to bluff your way in as a fully confirmed Catholic. You also can attend mass, but not take communion.
Not that they check credentials at the door, but it depends on how dishonest you plan on being.
I don't want to be that dishonest. I really want to observe their culture and mingle. This is the churches web site: http://www.ourladyofmountcarmel.org/
I wish there was some email address I could like ask permission to do this with.
