js, I think you are to be commended for being willing to experience church with your girlfriend even though you don't share her beliefs. I agree with others that the experience would very likely be a lot different and less intimidating in a smaller church. I am not Catholic, but I've had Catholic friends and been to church with some of them. There's a wide variety of styles of services, from very formal services where Mass is said in Latin, to comtemporary services where people go in shorts or jeans, and they have pop to rock type music by a live band. If you find a style of service that is comfortable to you, then you can focus more on what is actually happening. You may find that you like or, or not, but at least you've taken the time to explore and that in itself is supportive to her.
