Question

Attending a Catholic Wedding Mass

Answer

Never attended a Catholic Wedding Mass? Don’t be nervous! Our ceremony follows a beautiful, traditional structure with music, readings, and prayer. Throughout the Mass, the congregation will sit, stand, and kneel. Please feel free to follow the lead of those around you, or simply remain seated and enjoy the ceremony peacefully. During Communion, practicing Catholics are invited to receive the Eucharist. We warmly invite all other guests to come forward for a blessing—simply cross your arms over your chest (fingers to shoulders) as you approach the Priest. Having you there to share in our special day means the world to us! — Rachel & Shane :)
