In the interests
of safety, we ask
that all children be
under supervision by
an adult at all
times, even if they
are part of
the bridal party.
If we have any
concerns regarding
any of the above,
approaches will be
made to the best man
on the day of the
wedding.
Church Flower
Arranging Group
Notice regarding
Weddings
The group does not
do specific flower
arrangements for
weddings. We do the
church flower
arranging throughout
the year with
money/flowers
donated by the people of
the parish. This
requires effort and
co-operation by all
concerned, including
those responsible
for the flower
arrangements for
each wedding.
Therefore we do
require to be
informed, at least
four weeks prior to
your wedding, of
your intentions and
requirements by
telephoning our
group leader:
Gillian Hearn at
053-9120740
(preferably between
6:00pm and 8:00pm).
She will be glad to
co-operate with you
and tell you what
facilities are
available, also what
other flower
arranging may be
taking place at the
time of your
wedding, such as
Christmas, Easter,
First Holy Communions,
Funerals, other
Weddings etc. It can
happen that two or
three weddings take
place on consecutive
days or even two
weddings may occur
on the same day. So
co-operation between
our group leader and
brides could make
the flower arranging
more mutually
beneficial and less
wasteful.
Please note that
large flower
arrangements are not
to be put in the
centre of the altar
as they obscure the
the Eucharistic
Celebration.
Should you wish to
remove some or all
of your flowers
after a Saturday
wedding, we need to
know to ensure that
there are flowers
for the Saturday and
Sunday Masses. Any
donations of flowers
are, of course,
always appreciated.
Candles
Candles are only to
be placed where
there is no risk to
adjoining
decorations or
property from fire
or candle grease
falling on any
objects or surfaces,
especially on altar
cloths and carpets.
Candles are kept
preferably in
holders or special
dishes that can
catch the drips.
Tapers for lighting
candles to be used
with care to avoid
dripping grease.
Candles are only to
be moved when the
flame has been
extinguished and the
candle grease has
set.
Candles are only to
be extinguished with
the appropriate
snuffers which are
located in the
vestry. Blowing out
candles sprays
grease.
No decorations may
be placed on the
Blue Urns outside
the church. Previous
decorations put
there by bridal
parties damaged the
shrubs and were
costly to replace.
We, as a community,
are delighted to
welcome you and your
guests to our parish
church on your
wedding day and thank you for
your co-operation.
