Definition please
Can some one please give me the definition of “Church clothes?” The boy had his First Reconciliation today. They told us that it was rather informal but to still wear church clothes. So we get up early and make sure everything is nice and clean. The “Ol Lady ironed our khaki pants. We combed our hair and I even shaved.
But my biggest complaint were the people that showed up in t-shirts, baskettball uniforms, cheerleader uniforms etc… Some people had on shorts and flip flops on. WTF? I know God is forgiving and doesn’t care what you wear, but think of the solomity of the ceremony. It’s a big step in a young Catholics life. Don’t you want your kid to remember this day? And what if you take pictures? Drives me crazy.
I really want one of these shirts. There were some Fillies that had these on at Easter. I think with my gut I would look pretty fly.
I must say that I LOVE when I hear someone say the words “casual” and “church” in the same sentence.
lol. But to have that going on during an important moment like that is just plain wrong. I’m Catholic and don’t remember getting that freedom ….well…ever. The only time we were casual was when we were bowling or camping. Of course, we had a bowling alley in the church when I lived on Merritt Island so it was a treat to be able to walk around the place dressed in my casual garb.
As for the shirt…I say go for it lol.

I thought you were going to go the opposite direction on this, Usually when I hear casual or church clothes and I go the khaki route, then we arrive and everyone else is in suits and ties! I hate that………….. I now keep sport coats in the back of my suburban!
