Small teams of Wedding Assistants assist our parish Wedding Directors at each rehearsal and the wedding ceremony. All wedding are unique so we try to accommodate the bride and groom’s wishes for their special day. Requirements: A love of weddings and the sacrament of Marriage, a warm and caring attitude, and a sincere willingness to be helpful.
Time: A wedding commitment is one hour for rehearsal and two and a half hours on the day of the wedding. Wedding Assistants receive a schedule of weddings and sign up based on their availability. There is no minimum requirement on the number of weddings you must do. Weddings are scheduled on Friday at 4:00pm and Saturday at 11:00am, 2:00pm and 7:00pm. Friday weddings have rehearsal on Thursdays at 6:00pm. Saturday weddings have rehearsals on Friday at 6:00pm, 6:45pm and 7:30 pm depending upon the number of weddings. If there is only one, it is usually scheduled for 6:00 pm.
