Diocesan officials say approximately 2,500. Founded: 1848 Parish: 1860 2800 Families MASSES: Saturday- 8 a.m., 5:30 p.m. As of September 8 they must stop offering Traditional Latin Masses. The new roster of eight Arlington diocese locations for the Mass is down from the current 21 where the Traditional Latin Mass has been offered. Rippy likes to have an altar arrangement, so the whole cost of my ceremony was about $800. The Diocese of Arlington has restricted 13 local parishes, following many other Dioceses across the US that are implementing similar limits. Rippy kept saying that we didn’t need to give (we did anyways), the cantor is $100 (we chose Jo Ann Hovey, a beautiful mezzo), the organist is $275, and Fr. There isn’t a required fee to use it, but there is a suggested donation of $300 which Fr. It’s enormous, but it didn’t swallow up our 50 person guest list.

Rippy, and we would recommend him to anyone. Meeting with him regularly was easy since he was usually available at 8:00 pm, and the conversations were easy and provoking. He did give us a couple mini-lectures about us being only in our early twenties, us living together, and Mark being non-Catholic, but he was not judgy or overbearing at all we got the sense that the mini-lectures were a sort of a formality since he didn’t seem to have a problem with any of these aspects of our relationship. Rippy can seem kind of dry and uninteresting at first, but once you get to know him, you can see how funny and animated he is. Rippy, and we are so happy that we were! Fr.

The only requirement was that my request be submitted at least six months before the marriage date. 8 under new rules issued Friday by Bishop. First of all, registering with the church was not difficult at all I filled out a form to become a member and a request for the wedding in the same sitting. Thirteen parishes in the Diocese of Arlington, Virginia, must stop offering Traditional Latin Masses come Sept. We moved to the area in July, so since we wanted to get married as soon as possible, we registered at the church within a couple of weeks of moving there so we could get the ball rolling on the Catholic ceremony.
