The Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart would be pleased to celebrate your wedding in our church. Below is a breakdown of the fee structure for weddings which is meant to be an all-inclusive rate covering several costs. Aside from the costs associated with keeping our beautiful facilities operational and maintained this fee also includes the costs of our marriage preparation program, our wedding coordinator, and the cost of our organist and cantor. While there are options for extra "add on's" these are not required and for many couples, the base rates below represent the entire cost of the wedding at the Co-Cathedral.
The Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart is a beautiful Cathedral serving the Archdiocese of Galveston Houston, but it is also a parish church. Therefore our costs give a discount to our parish members while trying to still make it affordable and accessible to visitors.
Parishioners of the Co-Cathedral are defined by proper stewardship of time, talent, and treasure. A parishioner is registered with the parish, participates regularly in Sunday Masses and parish activities, and contributes to the needs of the church and the poor through parish offertory. You must meet these qualifications for an entire year prior to scheduling your wedding.
