Catholic Mass Ceremony

For those who are having a FULL catholic mass for thier ceremony, how many readers do you need????
I am hearing a mix between 2 readers and 3 readers.
If you know the number of readers you need, can you also tell me what reading they do???(not speicific reading but like old testiment, new testiment, prayer of the faithful ect....)
thank you

My Full mass was 45 minutes. I had 2 readers. One for OT, one for NT...all the other 'traditional' reader stuff was done by the priest to make it go more quickly.

Yup! Every catholic wedding I have been to has had two readers - old and new.

Mine lasted about an hour and I had 2 readers as well. One for the NT and the OT.

Re: Catholic Mass Ceremony

Yes, all the postings are correct. 2 readers and one reader to do the prayers of the faithful after the gospel. ALL in all a total of 3 people actually 'reading' but only 2 are the ones who do the OT and NT readings.

Ok, so did I totally confuse you?

Re: Catholic Mass Ceremony

I am having one person for the old testament, one for the new testament and having 2 friends do the prayer of the faithful together.

Re: Catholic Mass Ceremony

I think 2-3. You could always have the priest do the prayer of the faithful.

3 readers, one for old testament, one for new, and one for prayer of faithful

Re: Catholic Mass Ceremony

We did song of songs from the old testament (look at my beloved ...etc...) and then Love is stronger than Death from the old testament (letter from Paul to the Corinthians)
