Question
WHAT WILL THE WEDDING CEREMONY BE LIKE?
Answer
The ceremony will be Catholic Nuptial Sung Mass according to the liturgical books of 1962. The Mass will be primarily in the Latin language. If you are unfamiliar with this liturgical rite, missal booklets will be set out to help you follow the Mass. If you get lost, we recommend just praying and adoring the Lord in the Mass. During the Mass, there will be a time for receiving communion. Only Catholics in a state of grace can receive communion at this time. If you are not a Catholic or not in the state of grace, please stay kneeling at this time. Thank you.
