Wedding music prep materials

Any sense of what the cost might be? Would housing be provided? Or would participants arrange for their own housing?

Thank you for sharing! This could be very useful for parishes using the same resources. Might there be a way to share editable documents for those who'd like to revise if they are utilizing different resources?

Are there any church documents that prescribe the use of bells during the Gloria on Holy Thursday? I was surprised that our cathedral decided not to use bells during the Gloria yesterday (they had used them in past years).
