You need to be aware of a few things:

Midnight mass does not always start at midnight, call ahead to find out when the service starts and when it ends. It is a Catholic belief that Jesus was born at midnight ushering in Christmas morning.

Remember this is a church service dress appropriately, no jeans or casual wear.

Communion is given, please do not partake in this sacrament if you are not entitled. You might speak to the priest prior to the event. Do not leave while communion is being given, that is considered rude.
