Q + A

CAN I BRING A PLUS ONE?

Everyone is welcome at mass! Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation at the reception. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP on our website.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Jesus is physically present in every Catholic Church. Therefore, formal and modest attire is preferred. For ladies, out of respect for the Church and the Eucharist, shoulders and knees should be covered with no cleavage showing while inside the church. Floor-length dresses are highly encouraged! Gentlemen should wear a suit. (The weather will be between 60-70 degrees during the day and 50-60 degrees in the evening, with indoor and outdoor areas to the reception venue. )

HOUSEKEEPING FOR HOLY MASS

Please arrive at minimum 15 minutes early (by 1:15) so we can start promptly at 1:30. Additionally, we kindly ask that you do not take any pictures and keep your phones turned off for the entirety of the Mass. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos and videos as you'd like - we can't wait to see how much fun you're having!

WHERE SHOULD I PARK FOR MASS?

There is a small parking lot just north of the church on 7th street available for guests of the Newman Center. This lot fills up quick, but there is metered street parking or the Fulton Center garage that are great back up options.

WHAT ARE THE GUIDELINES FOR RECEIVING THE HOLY EUCHARIST?

We ask that only practicing Catholics who are in a state of grace (have been to confession recently and are free of mortal sin) present themselves at the altar for Holy Communion. If you do not fall into this category, we ask that you remain in your pew during this time.

WHEN SHOULD I RSVP?

Please RSVP by October 31, 2024

I HAVE DIETARY RESTRICTIONS/ALLERGIES. WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO LET YOU KNOW?

We want you to be able to celebrate worry-free, so please indicate any dietary restrictions/allergies when you RSVP so we can accommodate your needs!

WHERE SHOULD I STAY IF I'M FROM OUT OF TOWN?

We have group rates at a nearby hotel, The Westin. Please see the travel page for more details.
