How Many Readings at Church?

Re: How Many Readings at Church?

there is probably only 2 readings

Re: How Many Readings at Church?

I think 2 is the norm. Maybe you can have someone read a short prayer...or do you have any singers? They can sing a song at the ceremony?

Re: How Many Readings at Church?

My sister's wedding I went to recently had 2 readings.

Re: How Many Readings at Church?

there are 2 readings, but you can also use someone to do the intercessions (we pray for........response - usually Lord hear our prayer) during a normal catholic mass, this part would follow the homily then the creed. the creed might be omitted during a nuptial mass - it's up to the couple and the priest

if you are doing intercessions, you can have more than one person read them. this can be a good way to include another person. i wouldnt go overboard tho. but i was thinkin of maybe the two moms doing this.

although i think my mom already said no thank you

Re: How Many Readings at Church?

Thanks ladies - I am thinking 2 readings (so 2 friends/family), 1 for general intercessions, and then 2 people bring up gifts. We have people who THINK they can sing, but probably not the best idea!

Re: How Many Readings at Church?

2 reading and a responsorial (spelt wrong) psalm....so 3 people all together...i think that's the norm.

Re: How Many Readings at Church?

I'm assuming you are talking about Catholic church?? In that case, they are almost always very strict about there only being 2 readings one Old Testament, one New Testament... then of course the Gospel which only the priest or deacon may read). However, like others have said, you can ask people to do other things in leu of more readings.

Re: How Many Readings at Church?

I think there are just two reading's...
