All hymns before, during, and after the wedding must be sacred music sung live — no recorded music
A Sacred Action Celebrated with Grace
Your marriage is a sacrament — a sacred action. Everything in the celebration, from the music to the décor, should be in harmony with the sacramental rite and the holiness of God’s house.
Sacred Heart Parish is honored to accompany couples as they enter this lifelong covenant. Our wedding ministry ensures your celebration is prayerful, beautiful, and deeply meaningful.
