Our mission is to prepare, coordinate, and support God’s faithful as they commit themselves to the Sacrament of Marriage. Our goal is to make your Wedding Day harmonious and memorable.
 

What is a Wedding Coordinator?
The coordinator is the resource for questions about the couple’s wedding day: church environment (flowers, decorations, etc.), logistics (where to dress, where attendants stand/ sit), photography and videography guidelines, and any unique requirements for the bride and groom.
 

What are the main roles of the Wedding Coordinator?
The Wedding Coordinator helps to ensure that the Liturgy flows properly and assists the Presider of the Liturgy (Priest or Deacon) with the wedding ceremony. Ministry members extend hospitality to the bride and groom and their respective families, assist with the wedding day preparation, and help maintain a prayerful atmosphere.

The Wedding Coordinator also helps lead the rehearsal on the night before the wedding, which involves walking through processions and the Liturgy as a whole. On the day of the wedding, the coordinator will assist in preparing the church set-up (help set up and take down decorations). The coordinator also makes sure that the license is signed by the Presider.

When: The frequency is dependent on the amount of couples wanting to get married at St. Francis of Assisi. There are no annual meetings or the like; rather, it is the preparation and coordination that is required. One could expect an estimated total of 5 hours per wedding, split across the preparation, rehearsal, and wedding mass.

Who: We are open to volunteers who love helping people and feel called to serve those preparing for the Sacrament of Marriage.
