Dear Friends,

It is a joyous event for the whole church when two people declare their love and commit themselves to living their lives together. We are happy to be in a position to witness that commitment and welcome you to celebrate your wedding at St. Cecilia Church.

Our church is a popular place for weddings because of its beauty and its proximity to "downtown" St. Louis. Because we celebrate many weddings here during the course of the year we encourage you to visit our church and, if you choose to have your wedding here, make arrangements as soon as possible.

If you would like a priest from St. Cecilia the date would first have to be confirmed with one of our priest. This tentative date will be held for one month.
