Wedding Resources

An important element of any liturgy is the music.  Singing is always an integral part of the Church's worship.   Music is prayer.  St. Augustine said that "singing is praying twice!"  Therefore, couples preparing for music need to pay special attention to the music chosen for their wedding liturgy.  Remember that weddings in the Catholic Church are liturgies first and foremost, and the goal of the liturgy is to give worship to God. 

Music must be appropriate for Catholic liturgies; secular music or even popular Christian praise and worship music is not liturgical, and therefore not permitted.  Pre-recorded music is also not permitted.   Couples marrying at the Co-Cathedral will be given plenty of music options from the selection of approved liturgical music.

Preparing Music Selections:

Couples marrying at the Co-Cathedral are usually contacted by the Co-Cathedral Music staff a few months prior to their wedding date.  Couples may also contact the music office via email at [email protected].  It is best to be in communication with the music office at least 4 months prior to your wedding date.
