Church Question

Does anyone know what the difference is between having a full mass and not having a full mass? I know the time is different but what does the longer entail that the shorter doesnt?

In my church you have one less reading and there is no communion given at the ceremony. My priest said that a ceremony is only 30 minutes and a mass is about an hour.

This isn't in all churches. We are only having a ceremony. We are not having communion, but we are having a Gospel reading!

The priest rec'd that we only have one reading, but we're still having a gospel reading. But I'm going to ask him if we can still have two readings. Though I don't like any of the Old Testament readings anyway. We just have two people we want to ask to do readings.

The one thing that stand true in every church is that if it is a full mass that the guest can recieve communion. While I am very religios Iwill not be doing this b/c fh is jewish. There are many people who aren;t religious that still feel the need to get married in the church so they don;t do the full mass. It's a personal church. Like someone said... full mass automatically includes the communion.... some places do or do not include the gospel!!

In my church the only difference is that there is no communion in just a ceremony and a full mass you have communion.

The mass is just like going to church communion all the readings. Ceremony is like half a mass but only about 15 mins shorter.
