These plans must be initiated at least six months before the desired date of your wedding. You may request a priest or deacon from our pastoral staff, or you may invite a member of the clergy from another Catholic parish to preside at a ceremony here at St. Louis. In any case, we cannot reserve a time, date, or place for your wedding until you have discussed your plans personally with a priest or deacon at St. Louis. You must be a registered parishioner of St. Louis for at least one year before contacting the parish to make arrangements for your wedding. The Church seats approximately 650 people, is air-conditioned, and has rest room facilities and private rooms for the wedding party.
