A Visible Presence. Deacon Mike Ellis Pastoral Associate 4300 Asbury Rd. Dubuque, IA 52002 563-556-7511 ext. 230 - Office 563-552-6138 cellTO: Wedding Couples FROM:Liturgical Team (Fr. Phil, Amy Dolan, Deacon Mike) RE:Wedding Mass Guidelines during coronavirus pandemicDATE: June 4, 2020 We are excited that our Resurrection community is able to gather for the celebration of the Eucharist. With the opening came guidelines that we need to follow for all liturgical celebrations. These guidelines are from the Archbishop and all the churches within the Archdiocese are to follow them. A. The wedding party and guests who attend will need to wear masks. The bride and bridesmaids could consider wedding veils as an option. We invite you to be creative with your masks. Make them wedding favors and hand them out at the entrance for the practical use of safety and as a remembrance of the event. B. Seating will be in accordance to social distancing already established in the church. C. Since the hymnals have been removed, the music for the wedding would be simplified utilizing instrumental music as to singing. Wedding Worship Aids may be given out prior to the ceremony but they must be taken by your guests or disposed of immediately after the ceremony. D. Everyone involved in the opening procession including the bride and groom will wear masks. While in the sanctuary the bride and groom would not wear masks. E. Dismissing by pew will happen from the back to the front of the church. This will expediate the dismissal. Ushers will assist in this effort. F. Please note: if the above guidelines are a cause for anxiety know we can offer a simple solution. We can do your wedding with up to 10 people gathered. No one is required to wear a mask. It would be a simple Wedding Mass or Ceremony outside of Mass. Also, you may also consider moving your wedding to a year from now. We are all here to help you make your wedding a special day. We are also entrusted to make sure we keep everyone involved in your wedding safe. Please feel free to contact us with your questions. These are guidelines for now. If these change we will update you as soon as possible. ................
