What should I expect during the Catholic wedding mass?

A Catholic wedding mass includes several parts: the Liturgy of the Word (readings from the Bible and a homily), the Rite of Marriage (exchange of vows and rings), the Liturgy of the Eucharist (Communion), and the Final Blessing. The entire ceremony will last about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes.

Please arrive 15 to 20 minutes ahead of the start time of the mass. We wish to remain on schedule and will start the services even if you are running late. Please wait at the back of the church until the opening prayers and procession have completed if you are not seated before we start.

Respectful Behavior: Please be respectful and attentive during the mass. Sit, Stand, and Kneel: Follow the congregation when it comes to sitting, standing, and kneeling.

Cell Phones: Please turn off or silence your cell phones during the ceremony. Photos: There will be a professional photographer capturing the ceremony, so we kindly ask that you refrain from taking photos during the mass.

Can I participate in the Communion if I’m not Catholic?

Answer

In the Catholic tradition, Holy Communion is reserved for those who are in full communion with the Church.

Simply cross your arms over your chest when you approach the priest.
