Just wanted to add this. I was baptized a Catholic when I was three weeks old. Mass was a must. Never missed. An amusing anecdote: One Sunday I arrived at Mass a little early. As I waited for Mass to begin, I happened to reach up and touch my head. Horrors! I had forgotten to wear a hat. I quickly left, walked the five blocks home, and attended a later Mass, this time with a head-covering.
While of prime importance in my teenage years, today I view it as ridiculous.

I don't wear a head-covering, (mantilla is a much better word don't you think), because it isn't that important to me and I never developed the habit. So, what's the point of your little story?
