Out of curiosity I'm going to attend a Sunday mass at a local Catholic church. Is there anything I should know? Should I dress nice?

As you aren't a Catholic you should let the priest know by placing your right hand (or both hands forming an X) against you chest when you approach him when he is offering communion and he will give you a blessing instead of wine and crackers.

They can only give out the body and blood of Christ to people who believe that is what they are doing.

Dress smart but not showy and have some change if you can afford it, you don't have to put anything on the collection plate but it's considered a bit off if you can and don't.

Follow the actions and if you don't know the words bow your head in silence.

Like all Christian denominations Catholics are evangelical so they welcome new faces.

Don't worry you will do fine.
