The inside of the church is quite simple. There are wooden seats where people sit during mass. There is an aisle running down the middle of the church. There is an altar at the top of the church where the priest says mass. In the olden days men and women sat on separate sides but now families sit together.

Some churches have seats or wall plaques dedicated to family members. |
