All guests are invited to the Nuptial Mass and church hall reception immediately after, both of which are located at St. Agatha-St. James Church. Because of our large families and other factors, only the wedding party, immediate family, and a few others specified, are invited to the evening reception. Thank you for understanding!

Children are very welcome at the Mass and church hall reception! For those attending the evening reception, it is adults only.

For all events on the wedding day, we ask that you wear formal or semiformal attire. For men, please wear a suit or sports coat; for women, please wear a long or mid-length dress or formal jumpsuit. We kindly ask all guests to refrain from wearing: jeans, mini dresses, sneakers, or white clothing. Thank you!

St. Agatha-St. James Church does not have a parking lot. It is a university church, and school will be out for winter break, so there should be good street parking available. There is also a parking garage a short distance from the church at 3731 Walnut St. where paid parking is available. For those attending the evening reception, we encourage you to carpool and Uber! Street parking is available, and a select number of parking spaces are available for those with specific needs.

The wedding Mass will begin promptly at 1:00pm. Please arrive at Mass at least 15 minutes early to get seated and settled. Don’t forget to give yourself extra time to park!

The church hall reception will include champagne and non-alcoholic beverages. The evening reception will include an open bar.

Additional guests are most welcome at the Mass and church hall reception! For those coming to the evening reception, only those specified on your invitation are invited. Thank you!

Many of our guests are not Catholic, and we are so grateful that you are coming to witness our wedding! The wedding program will lay out the order of the ceremony, lyrics to hymns, etc., and you are invited to participate in all of it. Please note that the reception of Holy Communion is reserved only for Catholics who are prepared; otherwise you may come forward for a blessing from the priest, or remain in your pew.

At least one priest will be available for Confession from 12-12:45pm in the rear of the church.

No, there is not a designated wedding block.
