Arrangements should be made at least 12 months in advance and prior to making reception plans. In order to schedule a meeting with a parish priest or deacon, please fill out the form below. Someone will be in touch with you within 48 hours. A date can only be set once you have met a priest or deacon in person.
If you are not a registered parishioner of St. Agnes parish and wish to get married here, the couple may contact the rectory 1 year from the date of the marriage to book the wedding. For example, if you wish to get married on December 15, 2025 you must call us on December 15, 2024 to book the wedding. You also must request a letter of permission from the pastor of your geographic parish granting permission to marry at Saint Agnes.
We are only able to offer a wedding ceremony to couples who do not live in the parish boundaries and do not have a spiritual relationship to the parish (received sacraments here or went to Saint Agnes Cathedral School). A Mass may be celebrated if the couple invites a priest to offer the Mass. In the event the priest becomes unavailable, a parish priest or deacon will offer a wedding ceremony.
All couples are required to attend Pre-Cana. Below is more helping information about planning your wedding at St. Agnes including help choosing music and the required music selection form.
