I am Catholic so a typical service is an hour long and goes like this:
The priest, deacon, and servers walk in.
We have an opening prayer
The first and second readings are read
the Gospel is read
The priest talks about the gospel
There is a series of prayers including the Niceneb Creed and Our Father
The bread and blood are changed into the Body and Blood of Christ (yes, it really does change)
The basket is passed around for collections
Communion
The priest, deacon, and servers walk out.
You can buy a Missal or get and app that explains more
It is specifically set up to celebrate the eucharist
Receiving the body and blood of Jesus Christ
There is also a gospel which teaches us some story from the travels and teachings of Jesus
If you are referring to the Eucharist (the Holy Mass), the Priest follows the text as provided in the Missal. The only time that he may speak outside of the text in the Missal is brief introductions to the readings, a greeting before Mass starts, announcements at the end, and the homily after the Gospel. The homily, more often than not, is based on the Scripture readings at that Mass.
I try and stop in my Church everyday. I usually make my top priority to make daily Mass. If I can stop in at some other time, I try to set aside time for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and prayer, which would include my Breviary, Rosary, Stations of the Cross, spiritual reading, and just meditation and contemplation of Our Blessed Lord. I also ask Him about things that are troubling me at the moment and ask for His assistance.

Can your baby be considered catholic if baptized in a Methodist church?
I'm afraid not. The Catholic church will consider the baby as a 'Christian' and not a 'Roman Catholic' since they were baptized. It's a valid sacrament in the eyes of the Catholic Church. However you need to talk to the parish priest in the Catholic Church and they'll guide you with more information as to make your baby a Roman Catholic.

Roman Catholic AnswerYes, if you have made your first Holy Communion and want to be an altar boy, you speak to the priest and ask him. He will talk to you and arrange for you to be trained.
Can you become catholic if you have had a tubal?
I see no problem with that. Something that has been done and can not be undone can not be an obstacle to be received into the Church. Talk to a priest about it or join the RCIA-program in your local church.

What needs to b done to get a child baptism in a catholic church?
Talk to your Parish Priest. You'll need to nominate two people who are in good standing with the Church to be god parents.

In my church it's the people gathering for service that talk too much during the Prelude. The primary speaker for a church service would be the Pastor, Priest, Minister, Clergyman, Deacon.
How do you get a Baptism that says I am Catholic in Calgary?
You make an appointment with the local Catholic priest and go in and talk to him to find out what is required. If you are an adult, you will most likely attend RCIA classes and be received into the Church at Easter.
How can you and your husband convert to the Catholic Church if he has been married before in a Methodist church?
Talk to the priest at your local Catholic church about having your husband's first marriage annulled. While the Catholic Church does not recognise civil divorce, it does offer annulments where it believes the circumstances are justified. Since the Catholic Church regards marriage as a binding commitment, an annulment has the effect of saying that, in the view of the Church, the marriage never really happened.
If one parent is divorced and has a child can the child be baptized in the catholic church?
Yes, IF there is a well-founded hope that the child will be raised in the Catholic faith and you can convince your parish priest of this. You will need to receive instruction before this can happen, talk with your priest.
