Marriage Litugical Preparation
Once you have completed your Wedding Inquiry Form, it is time to begin the liturgical preparation for your mass or ceremony. This process may seem overwhelming, but we are here to help! An interactive music and liturgy preparation guide has been created to assist you with the process, you can access it by clicking here. This guide is also embedded next to the form for ease of access. This guide allows you to click and hear song samples and discern which readings resonate best with you . It is recommended to complete this process on a computer or tablet.
In short, you will need to choose music for the rite of marriage, and three readings that will serve as the proclamation of God's Word and of the Church's faith about marriage.
Please note that while popular and secular music may have a deep connection with your significant other, these pieces of music do not have a home in the church. Popular and secular musics fits best at your wedding reception. For Roman Catholic Rite of Marriage you will want the focus of your music to be derived from scriptural and liturgical sources. Music that is not listed in the preparation guide will need to be approved. Lastly, due to musical and liturgical requirements, only Saint Mary of the Lake musicians may for weddings at Saint Mary's. This helps guarantee a smooth liturgy as the presider, cantor, and organist are familiar working with each other and the acoustic demands of the space. To prevent hardship, please reach out to our music director, Connor Ford, before making any musical plans.
If at any time you have any questions please feel free to reach out to our music director to discuss. We are here to help!
