FAQs

Question

Where are the ceremony and reception taking place?

Answer

The ceremony will take place at St. Stephen the First Martyr Catholic Church in Sacramento. The reception will follow the Mass and take place in the church hall. There is free parking at the church property.

Question

What's the dress code?

Answer

Out of respect for Our Lord and for the edification of our neighbor. Men and women, boys and girls, are required to appear in church modestly and respectfully dressed. Shorts, tank tops, low cut, backless and mini-dresses, halters, bare midriffs, tight fitting clothes, etc. do not meet the norm of Christian modesty. Jeans are not allowed and shoulders must be covered during Mass. Thank you for adhering to the church's guidelines.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Plan to arrive at the church 15-30 minutes before the ceremony to find a parking space and a seat in the church. The ceremony will begin promptly at 3 pm. The Nuptial Mass begins with the marriage ceremony and then immediately goes into the Mass.

Question

When do I RSVP by?

Answer

Please send in you RSVP through the Zola website no later than July 1st, 2024.

Question

How is a Latin Nuptial Mass different from a normal Catholic wedding?

Answer

A Latin Nuptial Mass immediately begins with the Marriage rite (or ceremony) and then goes into the Liturgy. The Marriage rite will be said in English, but the rest of the Mass will be said in Latin. There will be missals available for guests to follow along.

Question

Who may receive the Eucharist?

Answer

Only baptized Catholics who have received their first communion, are practicing the faith, and are not aware of having committed mortal (serious) sins since their last confession may receive the Eucharist. If you are not going to receive, please remain in your seat and pray for and with the couple.
