[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks PP. I've recently started going to a different Christian Church but a handful of neighbors are Catholic and go to the same church, so I was interested to see what the service is like[/quote]

I am certain that if you mention to any of those neighbors that you're interested in going to mass one weekend, that they'd be happy to have you sit with them and they can talk you through anything that might be confusing.
That said, you are absolutely free to just go to any mass and check it out!  Other than not receiving communion, just go with the flow.  there will be a book in the pews that you can follow along if you'd like, but no need if you don't want to.
And I agree with a PP who said sit towards the front so you can see better, but behind a few rows so you can follow the sit/stand more easily.
Unlike some Christian churches, most Catholic parishoners won't really notice or care that you're there.  That's both a good things and a bad thing, of course, but you don't need to worry about anyone asking why you aren't kneeling or why you didn't receive communion or anything - no one will notice or care..[/quote]
