DRESS CODE
Cardinal Sin has issued an instruction on the “sober, decent and appropriate” attire for brides and their entourages. This policy rules out the “backless dresses and styles (sleeveless, spaghetti straps and the like) which can go against decency.”
Please read this instruction carefully and communicate it to your couturier. Our parish has taken the policy that those whose dresses do not comply with the Instruction will not be given Holy Communion nor be allowed to do Readings, Responsorial Psalm, petitions of the Faithful or any other function in the sanctuary. We do not want to cause anybody any embarrassment in the wedding, so we ask you to comply.
We trust that you would take time to attend any of the above-mentioned programs in preparation for your marriage. In case you cannot comply with the above regulations, may we advise you to apply somewhere else.
