Catholic Mass Music

Emmalee, on June 24, 2019 at 1:57 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 4

Hello Everyone!

Our wedding is closely approaching and having to finalize our music for mass. We have an idea but are looking for some last minute possible alternatives especially for the offertory song. All help is so much appreciated in advanced!

    For our Catholic ceremony, we had a packet that gave us options that we were required to choose from for readins, psalms, and hymns. I recommend calling your parish and asking if they have options for you to choose from! It was helpful for us because almost all of them were wedding appropriate/themed. Good Luck!

    Taste and See is always a good one, especially because it's really easy to cut short (one verse, one chorus) because offertory at a wedding is ONLY bringing up the gifts - there's not actually a collection, so it only takes about 30 seconds!

    I would also suggest just having the pianist/organist just play the parts to a song you like so they can use their own discretion as to when it should stop without worrying about a singer!

    Often, Catholic ceremonies don't even have an offertory song Smiley smile

    Other good songs:

    Amazing Grace

    How Great Thou Art

    Here I am, Lord

    Gather us In

    You Are Mine

    One Bread, One Body

    Taste and See

    Psalm 23 - The Lord is My Shepherd

    Psalm 128 - Blest Are those who love you

    Psalm 47 - God Mounts His Throne

    Hey Emmalee! How exciting that your wedding is so soon!!

    What is the song that you are currently considering for your offertory procession?

    I think Amazing Grace is a beautiful song, I also like the idea of all of your guests recognizing it even if they are not overly religious.

    Here I am Lord and One Bread, One Body are also popular choices!
