If you booked online or with another hotel you will need to contact the hotel to cancel or change your date.

Is there an open bar?

Answer

Question

I'm not Catholic/not a practicing Catholic, what do I do during Mass?

Answer

All is well. We are so grateful you are willing to share in our special day. We will have programs available at Mass and will have worship aids available to help follow along with the prayers and flow of the Mass. Communion: Matt and Katie request that everyone comes up during communion. If you are not Catholic, or are a lapsed Catholic, out of respect for Jesus in the Real Presence of the Eucharist, please come up and cross your arms (making an X-shape for your arms with right hand on left shoulder and left hand on right shoulder). This is a common sign within the Catholic Church that someone is coming up for a blessing during communion instead of receiving the Eucharist. Note: If you are interested in becoming Catholic or would like to begin practicing again and do not know where to start, please talk to Katie, Matt, or your local Catholic priest to learn more about RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults).
