Flower arrangements may be placed on pedestals or in a large basket provided by the florist.  You may donate the flowers to the Church following the ceremony. 

Decorations of any type are not allowed on the pews. 

We do not allow any balloon decorations or arch decorations.

Video filming is allowed during the ceremony but flash photographs may only be taken during the procession in and out of the church. 

Photographers must not distract or impede the ceremony.  Photographers will be asked to leave the ceremony by the priest or the XV coordinator if they become a distraction to the XV.

Photographer and/or equipment are not allowed inside if they have not been vetted by the coordinator before the mass.
