Bremerton Catholic parish family

Welcome to the combined Bremerton Catholic website for Holy Trinity and Our Lady Star of the Sea. In July of 2024 the Archdiocese of Seattle began its new Partners In the Gospel initiative combining many of our parishes together into new “families”.

Our family here in Bremerton is Our Lady Star of the Sea and Holy Trinity. You can think of us as one big parish with two campuses and hopefully you will feel comfortable with bouncing back and forth for whatever best fits your schedule.

Mass attendance and church etiquette

How we act at Mass should help us pray, listen and worship as well as help our neighbors do the same. We should remember that Mass is holy, dress appropriately, be on time, and turn cell phones off.

It is distracting when people arrive late to Mass. If you are delayed or late, be thoughtful of others and sit in the back so as not to disturb those already into the prayer of the Mass.

• To remove chewing gum from your mouth AND dispose of it in a PROPER manner (not on the floor or pews).
• To genuflect toward the tabernacle before sitting down.
• To sit quietly.
• To respect boundaries.
• To stay until the end of Mass.
• To reverently, gently, and silently leave the church.

Genuflecting is bending the right knee to the floor and rising up again. If one is physically incapable of genuflecting, they should instead make a profound bow.

The purpose of this is to show respect for our King and to acknowledge His Presence in the tabernacle. Once we have found a seat, we should sit or kneel quietly to pray or meditate.

This is not the time to socialize with our friends. If we must talk quietly, we should make it brief.

At the Our Father, for instance, we should be sensitive of our neighbors’ needs to, perhaps, deeply speak to “Our Father”, which can be interfered with by another ones need to hold hands.

Mass ends when the priest or deacon says: “The Mass is ended, go in peace” and we say: “Thanks be to God.” It is most polite to stay in our pews until the end of the recessional hymn.

There is a custom where some stay several minutes after Mass in thanksgiving for the Eucharist they have just received; the church should also be quiet out of respect for this deep union taking place.

What to wear to Mass

We should wear to Mass what we would wear if a King invited us to his home for a feast. That is, we should wear our best.

Our best should never draw attention to ourselves but give the utmost respect to the King (and His family) of whom we are special guests.

Immodest or revealing clothing is never acceptable. For women, any clothing that bares midriff or cleavage, tight clothing meant to accentuate various body parts, short skirts above knee or miniskirts, sleeveless tops, shorts, and tank tops are listed as inappropriate attire.

Dirty clothes are never acceptable. An unkempt body is never acceptable, such as dirty hands or fingernails.

There will be times that our only opportunity to attend Mass is after a physically demanding job or after helping Grandma bail out her flooded basement. There is nothing to worry about in such times.

We should never let circumstances that are out of our control keep us away from the Sacraments! God knows what we’ve been through, and it’s not anyone’s job to judge us.
