1 Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church Lindenhurst, New York Wedding Music Planning Guide Give them the strength which comes from the gospel so that they may be witnesses of Christ to others. - The Rite of Marriage June 2015

2 A Note From Our Director of Music Dear Engaged Couple, Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I look forward to helping you make your wedding at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church a beautiful and prayerful celebration of God s love. Music is a very important part of our worship and our sacramental celebrations. St. Augustine said it so well: Singing is for the one who loves. The musical offerings that are listed in this booklet are suggestions. If you would like to have something sung or played that is not on this list, feel free to contact me to discuss the possibility of using it at your wedding. Please keep in mind that all music must be both sacred and appropriate for the liturgy. This is in accord with both diocesan and universal church guidelines. Any hymns found in our parish hymnal (Gather - 3rd edition) could be used. The numbers before each of the titles correspond to the Wedding Music Planning Sheet and also to the links to the recordings that can be found on our parish website, Please choose one selection per section. It is important that the completed Planning Sheet be returned to the rectory at least three weeks before your wedding. Included in the music offering to the parish are the fees for the organist and one cantor. If you are interested in having additional instrumentalists at your wedding, you might consider hiring our in house professional musicians: Trumpet John Brierly (631) johnbrierl@aol.com Flute Joyce Reardon (631) jagr255@aol.com We can also make recommendations for other instrumentalists or additional singers, as your budget allows. On the recordings, you will hear a variety of instruments (organ, piano, trumpet, flute) as well as a variety of voices from our parish cantors. If you have any special requests, please let me know in advance. We do not recommend that outside musicians and vocalists be asked to play or sing at your wedding, particularly if they are not experienced with the Roman Catholic Liturgy. If you desire to bring in a guest vocalist or instrumentalist, this must be approved in advance. Please note that there will be a separate fee if rehearsal time is required with the organist. If you have any questions about the music at your wedding, please contact me by phone (631) , ext. 210 or cferraro@oloph.org. God bless you as you continue to make preparations not only for your wedding, but your new life as a married couple. Sincerely, Christopher Ferraro Director of Music - 2 -
