Wear whatever you feel comfortable in Floradora. You wont need to cover your head and there aren't going to be any pitfalls.

You'll be given an order of service booklet to follow and you can follow the service silently, if you don't want to join in.

It will be fine, smart attire, no requirement to cover your head, you cannot take part in holy communion and it might last a while as many are confirmed at a time often. Gifts and cards appropriate and it’s a great privilege to be invited.

Enjoy your day thanks

Coming from a very Presbeterian background I am a bit worried about the invitation we have to attend a first communion . Will it be OK to wear a smart trouser suit , do I have to cover my head ? I am told the normal service will be fist so what pitfalls are there for anyone who has never been to a mass before ? I have bought a card and a gift to take so that is organised . This is right out of my comfort zone .
