There are many nice hotels in the Wirral to choose from. For those looking for good value for money, we think Travelodge is usually very good.

There is a Travelodge in New Brighton that's very close to the church.

About the Mass

Our wedding ceremony will be celebrated in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, also known as the Traditional Latin Mass or Tridentine Mass. This beautiful and ancient form of worship has been celebrated for centuries and holds a special place in our hearts.

What to Expect

The Extraordinary Form differs from the more commonly celebrated Ordinary Form (Novus Ordo) in several ways:

Language: The Mass is celebrated primarily in Latin, though readings may be in English
Orientation: The priest faces the same direction as the congregation (ad orientem), towards the altar
Sacred Silence: There are moments of profound silence and contemplation
Gregorian Chant: You'll hear beautiful traditional sacred music
Rich Symbolism: The ceremony includes elaborate ceremonial gestures and rituals
Reverence: A sense of sacred mystery and reverence pervades the celebration
Holy Communion: Communion is received on the tongue while kneeling at the altar rail

For Our Guests

Missals (prayer books) with English translations will be provided
Please feel free to sit or kneel as you're comfortable
The congregation typically kneels at key moments during the Mass
You may notice some differences in the responses and prayers
Only Catholics in a state of grace should receive Holy Communion

Honeymoon Contribution

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for. However, if you wish to honour us with a gift, a contribution towards our honeymoon would be warmly appreciated.

We're planning a special trip to celebrate the start of our married life together, and your generosity would help make it truly unforgettable.
