Hi Michele,

I'm Catholic and here's my opinion- At Mass if you are not baptised then you are not allowed to take the bread and wine (wine is not usually offered at most masses except to the priests and eucharistic ministers) and should just sit in your seat when others approach the altar for the bread/wine. (lots of people do this for various reasons at every mass that I have ever been to)

If you are going out of respect for the family then I recommend "fitting in" as much as you can, rather than making a stand for your own beliefs (by not sitting/standing/kneeling when everyone else does)

So I would stand when they stand, sit when they sit, and if there is bread etc do not go into the line to get it just stay in your seat.

I also think that you should talk to your husband about not wishing to make a mistake so that he can tell you what to expect and even get the exact religion to someone here can give you proper advice for the exact type of service.

Hope this helps
