All requests must be completed at least six months in advance. We highly recommend that you do not book your reception venue until you have confirmed your date with the church. Your wedding date will not be confirmed until after the territorial parish, Our Lady of the Holy Family at Notre Dame, gives final approval to proceed.
Requirements: At least one of the parties seeking the Sacrament of Marriage at Church of the Holy Family must be a member of the Saint Ignatius College Prep faculty or employee, an alumnus/alumna of Saint Ignatius or have a current, long-standing relationship with a member of USA Midwest Province of the Society of Jesus or Church of the Holy Family and provide a brief explanation of the nature of the relationship.In keeping with the laws of Canon, a letter is required by your pastor or proper ordinary granting permission for your wedding to take place at Church of the Holy Family (Canon Law Code 1115).In addition, because we are not a parish, we do not have priests, altar servers, Eucharistic ministers or musicians/cantors on staff. You will need to secure your own presider, sacristan or musician/cantor where needed.
Fee for a wedding is $2,000. Once date is approved, $1,000 deposit is due to secure date.
Note: all wedding documents must be completed and filed at Church of the Holy Family 60 days prior to scheduled wedding date. **CHURCH USE OF PHOTOGRAPHS AND IMAGES
