I've never been to a Catholic wedding before!
What is it like? Can I come if I am not Catholic?
Everyone invited is welcome to come, practicing Catholic or not! Our wedding will be the old rite, Traditional Latin Nuptial Mass, in the Extraordinary form Solemn High Mass.
There will be available programs/brochures as aids to follow along the mass. If you are not a practicing Catholic, please select no to receiving holy communion in the RSVP, and cease to wait in the procession line during the serving of holy communion in the mass. Otherwise, we ask for everyone to do their best to respect the reverence of the mass. To learn more about the TLM (Traditional Latin Mass,) we recommend watching Mass of the Ages, a 3 part documentary about the TLM mass.

Where is St. Benedict's Acres?
Where do we park?
St. Benedict's Acres is:
649 State Hwy 52, Erie, CO 80516
We should have volunteers who will help direct the parking, & I will be uploading a map for people to see an outline as well. Stay tuned!
Can we bring a +1:
Unfortunately the answer is no. Unless we have previously spoken with you, we ask no +1s without asking us first. If your plus one was not on the invitation address, please ask us first, or assume the answer is no.
Can we bring our kids:
Our wedding will be child-friendly!
However, there will be alcohol served at the Reception & it will go fairly late, till 10PM. You are welcome to come early and leave early if need be.
We politely request that if you are parents to a baby, and decide to bring the baby, and the baby starts to cry during the ceremony service, please leave the building to the outdoors, or to the back of the church, towards the doors. This also is the case for unruly children.
Can I take photos?
We politely request no flash photography during the ceremony & to silence all cell phones & silence or turn off all devices or switch them to airplane mode if possible.
Photos during reception are welcome!
