This workshop will focus on the changes included in the Second Edition of the Order of Celebrating Matrimony.
Topics to be covered include: the Theology of Marriage; the expanded introduction; ritual elements for celebrating matrimony within Mass, without Mass, and between a Catholic and a non-Christian; liturgical ministries at weddings; processions; cultural adaptations; worship aids; best pastoral practices; and resources for implementation.
This workshop is specifically for ministers who prepare engaged couples for marriage and parish staff who facilitate preparations for the wedding liturgy.
