Weddings

At St. James Cathedral, we believe that the union of marriage, joining of two persons in heart, body, and mind is a sacred ceremony that acknowledges your commitment to a lifelong relationship.

Steps to schedule a wedding at St. James:

  1. Fill out the interest form.
  2. Wait one week to be contacted by a priest.
  3. Meet with a priest.
  4. Pay a deposit of half of the wedding fee.
