Born and raised Catholic, I still have a tough time knowing which color to wear to Mass.

Is it a requirement to wear the right color? Absolutely not. However, when you walk into the church and it seems nearly everybody is wearing violet, but you’re standing there in a green shirt, well you know…

So I found this handy guide and wanted to share it with you.

Here, you can also learn what each colors means: http://www.catholic.org/clife/lcolors.php

At the end of the day, in my opinion, just going to church is good for you and your family. Doesn’t matter what you wear. The color means nothing if you’re not there in the first place.
