The Nuptial Mass will be in the Traditional Latin Rite, which means everything except for the vows and homily will be said in Latin. Guide booklets with Latin-English translations will be available for all guests to follow. We hope this ancient and beautiful liturgy will fill you with peace and joy. We simply ask that you pray for us! Holy Communion: Catholics in the state of grace may receive the Holy Eucharist kneeling at the Communion rails at the front of the church. In the Latin Rite, the Eucharist is received on the tongue and not in the hand. It is not necessary to say "Amen", as the priest says this for you. Non-Catholics should remain seated during this time.
3:30 pm - 4:00 pm
4:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Please enjoy a cocktail hour by the Venice-themed canal from 4-5 p.m., then dinner and dancing!
