Question

What should I expect from the ceremony and mass?

Answer

Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a traditional Latin mass parish. The wedding ceremony is completed first, before the mass, and the mass is celebrated in Latin. The choir will sing all the responses, but the faithful are encouraged to sing as well. There will be booklets with the English translations available for all guests.
