Wedding Policies

We celebrate with you the joyful fact that God has brought you to this moment in your lives. We pray that this time of preparation will be one of grace, peace, and joy for you.

The staff of Holy Cross – Immaculata Parish is eager to help you prepare for the celebration of the Sacrament of Matrimony. Our wedding policies are in place to ensure that the liturgy will be prayerful, and as a result, a more meaningful encounter with Christ for you. The policies of our parish reflect the policies of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati for the Rite of Matrimony.

The celebration of the Sacrament of Matrimony is an action of the entire Church in whose presence you commit yourself to one another. It is an act of worship, and therefore communal. That is why many things that might take place outside an act of worship are not appropriate to include in a Catholic wedding ceremony. It is our goal to assist you in planning a celebration that will facilitate prayerful participation among your guests.
