THE WEDDING ASSISTANT PROGRAM

One Wedding Assistant is needed for each wedding rehearsal and ceremony celebrated at St. Max. Wedding Assistants are responsible for performing the following tasks; running the Rehearsal (either with or without the direction of the deacon/priest); setting up the Sanctuary for the Wedding; performing Sacristan duties (if needed for a wedding performed within a Mass); guiding the bridal party before, during and after the Wedding; and tidying up the Sanctuary and Hospitality Room after the bridal party departs. This requires a multi-day, multiple hour commitment on a Friday evening (Rehearsal) and Saturday morning or evening (Wedding), only once per month. Training, policies, and a small stipend are provided. Good communication skills and neat appearance are required.  If you are interested in becoming a Wedding Assistant, please contact Caron Bergen at 777-4322, ext. 114.
