Introduction
Congratulations! I am happy to help with preparing the music for your wedding liturgy at St. Francis of Assisi Church to make it a joyful and memorable celebration for you and your loved ones.
​
It is important that your family, friends and guests in attendance participate in the wedding liturgy and celebrate actively with you. Music and singing will be an important part of that.
​
A Catholic wedding liturgy expresses the Christian understanding of love, faith and marriage. For that reason, the wedding music you choose should reflect the dignity of Christian faith and marriage, and it should come from the treasury of music that the Church recognizes as appropriate for worship.
​
To start, read the Wedding Music Guidelines, Options for Musicians, and Choosing Music for Your Wedding sections by selecting from the menu in the page header.
If you haven't already gotten in touch with me, please contact me by using the adjacent form, and we’ll begin making arrangements. It would be best to get in touch with me as soon as is feasible so we can make all the arrangements and plans for music comfortably ahead of time.
​
Again, congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Father Erin, Deacon Andy and I are committed to providing you with any assistance you may need to make your wedding a joyful, meaningful and prayerful experience.

Mark Bauman
Liturgical Music Director
