It is appropriate to have an Order of Service booklet for a Catholic Wedding. While this is not required, many guests are not Catholic and would appreciate why we celebrate the various parts of the service. St. Rose of Lima Parish is pleased to offer these suggestions for couples who are planning to be married here or elsewhere.

Here are a few suggestions as you prepare your Order of Service:

1. It isn’t necessary to print the entire reading in your booklet. Summaries of reading and their entire texts are available in our Readings Page.

2. If your service is bi-lingual, you may want to print only the translation of the part that will be proclaimed by the reader. For example, if the reading is proclaimed in English, you may want the translation synopsis in your Order of Service.

3. It isn’t necessary to print the entire Psalm. You may choose to print only the refrain. The words for the refrain (the congregation’s part) are available for your Order of Service.

4. It is always important to check with the priest or deacon about your selections before you bring them to the printers.

5. It is never easy to determine how many Order of Service copies you will need for your Wedding. Understand, however, that some of your guests will RSVP only for the banquet portion of your wedding day

6. Go to the Plan Your Service page to review your Order of Service. Feel free to copy and paste your selections as you go along.
