Liturgical Hints & Ideas:
During summer Ordinary Time, when many weddings occur, we will review the musical elements of the marriage ceremony.
Engaged couples and the congregation also will benefit from a deeper understanding of these principles.
Parishes have permission to duplicate for their use the material in these "Liturgical Hints & Ideas" sections.
The Marriage Ceremony: Offertory
This time, occuring immediately after the marriage rite and the first prayers for the couple, is ideal for a vocal selection.
Organ music, instrumental music or a familiar congregational hymn may also be used, tailoring the choice of music to the time of the liturgical action.
