We will have a full Catholic Mass with wedding ceremony. The Mass should last around one hour and fifteen minutes.
Attire: We want you to be comfortable, but we also believe in the sacredness of the holy Mass. We kindly ask guests to wear modest attire.
Ceremony: The Mass includes multiple readings, the vows, right after the Gospel reading and homily, and then the Liturgy of the Eucharist. There will be programs to guide you through the Mass as well.
Communion: Catholics believe that the celebration of the Eucharist is a sign of the reality of the oneness of faith, life, and worship. Therefore, members of those churches with whom we are not yet fully united are ordinarily not admitted to Holy Communion. (From the USCCB on Guidelines on the Reception of Communion)
Our Protestant brothers and sisters may remain in their seats and join us in prayer or come forward with arms crossed across your chest for a blessing.
