Running late for church..is it a case of better late than never or should you not go in if running late?

I've recently started attending mass again. Our nearest service starts at 9am and with our daughter teething at the moment she is always unhappy/crying/settling for her nap around then. I keep turning up 10-15 minutes late and am a bit worried I shouldn't be going in late.

I've been working on the better late than never principle but I don't want to annoy the priest/other church goers - it's a small chapel so hard to creep in without being noticed.

Any thoughts? Our other services are a long drive away so I'd rather stick to this one if possible.

Praise God your trying which is a good thing! God wants our attention and that we praise Him daily for He is a mercyful God. we are not perfect and if we were, we would not need God at all! praise God for your efforts DD will not be teething for long and it will get better!I pray that you just continue to please God not man, women or anyone else!
