Question

What can I expect at the Wedding Mass?

Answer

St. Stephen Martyr is a Roman Catholic Church, and our ceremony will be a full Mass where we will receive the Sacrament of Marriage. Programs will be provided so all may follow along with the progression of the Mass. All guests are encouraged to participate in the Communion Procession; however, if you are not Catholic, we ask that you cross your arms across your chest and the priest will offer you a blessing. Alternatively, you may choose to remain seated during Communion. If you are a practicing Catholic in good standing we invite you to receive communion. All are welcome within the church and we look forward to celebrating the Sacrament of Marriage together.
