I will be wearing a kilt at Mass on All Saints Day, but then I always wear a kilt so that won't be a surprise to anyone. In my parish I am a Lector, Cantor, and I lead music with a small ensemble, all while kilted. I read Matt's blog and certainly respect his position and opinion. I wrestled with this a bit myself when I first began wearing the kilt but I decided that the people who are distracted or concerned about me wearing the kilt are going find some reason to be distracted or concerned about me whether I'm wearing a kilt or not. I've been doing contemporary music at Mass for 30 years. I've distracted and concerned a lot of people in that time.

As to a reason to wear a kilt on All Saints day, the roots of the feastday are celtic. Dressing as a celt seems appropriate. If this is a step toward making the wearing of a kilt part of your normal celebration of the Mass go for it. If you are just looking for an opportunity to dress up then maybe your focus is on the kilt and not on the feast of All Saints. You'll have to look deep in your own heart, only you can know if your focus is right.

Good luck with your discernment.
