About Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Conewago Chapel)

A wedding at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, known around Hanover as Conewago Chapel, means getting married in the oldest Catholic church building in the United States built of stone. It stands in the countryside of Conewago Township, and the stone front with its steeple is the picture most couples want for their wedding photos as they come out the doors. Your photographer and videographer can follow the whole ceremony down the long nave to the altar, with the transept and apse opening the space at the front.

Here you can hold a Catholic wedding ceremony in a church that a pope named a Minor Basilica, and that a local TV feature called a piece of Vatican-level magnificence hiding in Hanover. The parish grounds also have a social hall with a kitchen, built for parish events, and a historic barn that is being renovated as a museum. For video, the size of the church matters: ask your wedding videographer to plan microphones for the vows so the words don't get lost in the room.

Timing matters here. Contact the rectory office at least nine to twelve months before your date, and plan to finish the Diocese of Harrisburg's marriage preparation at least a month before the wedding day. The parish asks couples to focus on the marriage, not only the wedding, so expect real preparation with the priest.

Call the rectory office nine to twelve months ahead.
Finish diocesan marriage preparation a month before the wedding.
Ask about photo and video guidelines and where your photographer may stand during Mass.
