But the fruit of the Spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity, mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity. Galatians 5:22

The exercise of the virtue of modesty in the way we dress is an important way in which we convey our respect for God and for one another. This is especially true at Mass, where becoming dress promotes a fitting liturgical environment, which in turn facilitates the cultivation of our devotion and fervour toward our Lord. While making allowances for hot weather, please keep in mind that clothing which is too revealing is inappropriate in the presence of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament, and can be distracting for others. Taking the Holy Family as our model, we should all try to contribute to maintaining a sacred and fitting atmosphere at the parish. At the same time, no-one should take it upon himself to police the church or to criticise another for the way he or she is dressed. It is always the responsibility of the priests. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
