Congratulations on your engagement and your decision to celebrate the Order of Celebrating Matrimony at St. Pius X Catholic Church.
This Book of Readings and Music is your complete guide to planning the sacred liturgy for your wedding day. We have compiled all the necessary information to help you select the readings, music, and prayers that will make your celebration a beautiful and personal reflection of your faith and love.
Inside this guide, you will find:
- Approved Scripture Readings: A comprehensive collection of approved readings from the Old Testament, New Testament, and Responsorial Psalms.
- Recommended Music: A list of approved music for all parts of your celebration, including Preludes, Processionals, Recessionals, and Communion Songs. Please note that permission must be obtained for any music not on this list.
- The Wedding Planning Sheet: A form to help you organize your selections. You will need to complete this and return it to your presider before your wedding.
- Catholic Wedding Vows: The two approved options for the vows you will exchange.
- Sample Prayers: Examples of the General Intercessions (Prayers of the Faithful) to help you craft your own.
We hope this resource is a helpful tool as you prepare for this joyful sacrament.
