FAQs

Question

“What should I expect at a Catholic wedding ceremony?”

Answer

Our wedding will take place within a full Catholic Mass, which is both a joyful celebration and a sacred act of worship. The ceremony includes prayers, readings from Scripture, a homily (a short reflection by the priest), and the exchange of vows. There will also be moments of standing, sitting, and kneeling, feel free to simply follow along with those around you. At the heart of the Mass is the Eucharist (Holy Communion). Catholics believe the Eucharist is the true Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, not symbolic, but truly present, and it is considered the “source and summit” of their faith and daily lives. Because of this belief, receiving Communion is reserved for practicing Catholics who have been fully initiated into the Church, including Confirmation. If you are not Catholic or do not wish to receive Communion, you are warmly invited to remain in your seat or come forward with your arms crossed over your chest to receive a blessing instead.
