There are no haitian churches where I live. However, I routinely make an effort at being "well turned up" to attend mass on Sundays.
Truly, I do not believe that the good Lord cares one way or the other.
I do believe however that as a sign of respect for ME, for my fellow parishioners, I should be groomed and attired properly (none of this belly button exposing stuff).
Any sign of respect or courtesy that I show to humans, I double for God.
Having said this, my get-ups range from Saturday ensembles, to business casual, to fashionable rags, etc. If I do not shower, I wash strategic body parts...
It all depends on the status of my health, my frame of mind, my other plans for the day, or what I have available (when away from home), or the weather.
In all cases, I present myself in a way that does not distract others from the Lord's business.
I must add that when traveling, I make sure to pack "something decent" for church if I am to spend Sunday away. I have long discarded some elements of my haitian upbringing when it comes to Sunday Masses (such as skirts only, no pants).
But I have also kept a good deal. I have come to see the whole thing in light of the saying" Cleanliness is next to Godliness".
