Our wedding will be a formal event, and we are asking guests to wear formal attire, as able (coat and tie for men, equivalent for women). Additionally, our wedding ceremony is taking place within the sacred space of a Cathedral Church, during a Catholic Mass, in which we believe Christ is truly and substantially present. We are respectfully asking that all guests dress modestly.

Answer

The Catholic Church believes that Jesus Christ’s Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity are really, truly, physically and substantially present in the Holy Eucharist (the Communion Bread and Wine). Only baptized Catholics, in a state of grace, may receive Holy Communion. Our protestant brothers and sisters and all other guests are welcome to approach the altar to receive a blessing. To do this, simply approach during the time for communion, and cross your arms over your chest, and the priest or deacon will bless you.
