A wedding is a wonderful celebration of a new family being formed in the Church. So that all your guests can easily participate in this communal celebration, you are welcome to use these templates. They include the songs, spoken responses, and postures for Catholic wedding liturgies, in addition to the names of the wedding party and ministers and a few lines about what is going on in the ritual at different moments. There are three main options: Mass / Service, Entrance Form 1 / Form 2, and optional devotionals or cultural practices. These optional parts are included in parentheses in the templates below.
Couples are responsible for editing and printing their own worship guides / programs for weddings at St. John’s, or delegating that responsibility to another person or professional service. These templates are designed to be printed as 5.5 x 8.5” booklets. You are welcome to reformat them. The best way to print the design provided here is: black & white; booklet print (from Publisher); 2-sided flipped on short edge; saddle-stitch staple.
If you have questions or you would like to include music within the program itself, please contact mollymattingly@creighton.edu.
