We love the little ones and are extending a formal invitation to celebrate Grace and Stephen's marriage with you and your children at the ceremony in Syracuse. Once the Mass has ended, however, the celebration will continue at an out-of-doors adult-only reception at Everest Park in Auburn. Mothers with infants are most certainly exempt. Thank you for understanding.
The reception will be held in an outdoor setting with gravel/grass flooring, so we recommend skipping the stilettos this time and picking out block heels or a pair of flats.
Transfiguration of Our Lord Church in Syracuse is the parish community for both Grace and Stephen. They worship there and it is their desire to be joined by nuptial vows within the liturgy they attend. At the entrance of the church there are liturgical 'red booklets' that contain the elements of the Mass in both Latin and English. Please know the reading of scripture, the subsequent preaching, and exchange of wedding vows will be in English.
The reception, held at Everest Park, is approximately 40 minutes from the church.
Please RSVP by May 14. There is lots of planning that can only be done well with good numbers, so your help is best realized in RSVPing - Thank You! Our Best, Dave & Terri Wilder
