About the Latin Mass
Our Wedding Mass will be a Solemn High Latin Mass. This is the traditional form of the Mass, used as far back as the 6th century! Nathan and I have been attending this form of the Mass for many years and have grown to love the beauty and tradition it is steeped in. We are so happy we get to celebrate our nuptial Mass in this beautiful tradition of the Church, and to share the beautiful liturgy with you.
A few reasons we love the Latin Mass:
✢ The whole Mass (except the sermon) is in Latin! Latin is the language of the church and gives a sense of sacredness and mystery to the liturgy.
✢ The music is Gregorian chant and polyphony, forms of music that date back to the early centuries of the Church. We can both attest that the choir at St. Francis de Sales is amazing, and makes you feel like you are in Heaven!
✢ The reverence and solemnity in which the Mass is performed allows the realization of what is taking place, an offering to God.
