Q + A

Where to park for the Mass?

The Student Center does not offer parking. We recommend parking in the parking garage located at 430 N Frances. In addition, there is parking available at 600 N Park Street or 301 N Lake Street.

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Please arrive by 11:45pm, fifteen minutes before the Mass begins. We recommend arriving 30 minutes early to have time to get situation, find parking, greet family and friends, and pray before the Mass.

What should I wear?

We ask that guest wear formal attire that is appropriate for the Catholic Mass. The bridesmaids will be wearing light dusty blue dresses if you would like to avoid matching them.

What if I'm not familiar with the Catholic Mass or I am not Catholic?

During the mass, we will have handouts that will assist you in following along with the mass. Only baptized Catholics who have received their first communion, are practicing the faith, and are not aware of having committed moral sins since their last confession may receive the Eucharist. If you are not receiving Holy Communion, feel free to remain seated or come up to the front, cross your arms and receive a blessing.

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

We ask that you please refrain from taking pictures during the ceremony. We have hired photographers to take pictures during this time and we want to refrain from any distraction to the Sacred Mass.
