FAQs

Question

Does this count as my Sunday Obligation?

Answer

You bet it does! We will be using the readings for the liturgical day (Holy Family) and therefore the wedding is actually just part of a Mass.

Question

Can non-Catholics attend mass and receive Communion?

Answer

Every person is most welcome to praise God and participate in the mass! Because when we receive the Host we receive the body of Christ, it is crucial for us to know Who we are receiving and to have prepared our hearts accordingly. We ask everyone attending our wedding who is a confirmed Catholic to attend confession before receiving the Eucharist if not in a state of grace. For those who are not Catholic, we encourage you to proceed with everyone in the line with your arms crossed for a blessing. (Anyone can go through RCIA and eventually receive the body of Christ- talk to us if you're interested :D )

Question

What do we do in between the wedding mass and the reception?

Answer

Feel free to mosey on over to the parish hall for cocktail hour during the hour between mass ending and dinner!

Question

Will the party go until midnight?

Answer

After final call and the lights come on, everyone is welcome to stay in the Parish Hall to enjoy company and leftovers until the new year bell is rung!

Question

What is veiling and should I do it at a Catholic Wedding?

Answer

Veiling is a tradition for Catholic women since the beginning of the Church, and many women nowadays do it as a reminder of the Love of Christ for His Church. Know that all women are welcome to veil (Gabi wouldn’t mind if it’s white) and for more information on it see the url below! https://www.veilsbylily.com/frequently-asked-questions/#why
