More information for those getting married at the Cathedral:

Weddings: Basic Information 1. The Cathedral is primarily a place of worship for the Catholic community and therefore, is not a venue for weddings of those who have no connection with the Catholic faith. 2. Catholics who are not active, contributing members of the Cathedral Parish and who wish to celebrate their wedding at the Cathedral may do so, subject to availability and the following stipulations are met: i. The Rector of the Cathedral must give permission. ii. The Couple must have consulted their own Pastor and have completed the required marriage preparation program, as well as the church and civil documents, under his direction. iii. The Couple's Pastor must be willing to be delegated as the officiating clergyman by the Rector of the Cathedral. Ordinarily, the Rector will not officiate at the weddings of non-parishioners. Wedding Music All music used at weddings is an integral part of the wedding liturgy and must therefore reflect that it is a religious event. Non-liturgical music (themes from movies, popular songs, and the like) is not to be used, nor is any kind of prerecorded music. These are more fitting for the reception after. The main instrument used at weddings is the McGuigan Organ, which adds a special note of dignity to the ceremony. Other instruments may also be used as permitted by the General Instruction on the Liturgy. Selection of music is done in consultation with the Cathedral's Organist, who advises on its suitability. In selecting soloists, couples are urged to choose competent vocalists capable of projecting in a building of this size. Fees and Honoraria Please consult parish office at 565.0909.
