About St. Mary’s Catholic Church (Assumption of the BVM)

A wedding at St. Mary's Catholic Church in downtown Lancaster takes place in one of the oldest Catholic parishes in the original thirteen colonies. Gothic arches frame the sanctuary, a large stained glass window stands on each side of it, and a painting of the Assumption hangs above the main altar, with marble statuary and carved altars around it. It's a rich, detailed room for wedding photos and video.

The wedding ceremony here is the Catholic sacrament of marriage, and the parish asks couples to call the office about marriage preparation. The side chapels, modeled on those of St. Peter's in Rome, are worth seeing when you visit, and the walk up the aisle toward the painted sanctuary is a processional your videographer will want to plan for. The parish website doesn't say whether non-parishioners can get married here, so ask when you call.

Music has its own process. All music must follow the wedding music guidelines of the Diocese of Harrisburg and be approved by the parish's wedding music coordinator, and you hire your own cantor and musicians. Once you have them, the coordinator schedules a meeting with everyone to choose the pieces, and musicians usually don't play at the rehearsal.

Call the parish office about marriage preparation well ahead of your wedding day.
Contact the music coordinator early to begin choosing music.
Ask the parish about photo and video guidelines before your photographer plans the timing.

A little about St. Mary's Catholic Church

Founded in 1741, the parish began the present church in 1852 and rebuilt it after a fire in 1867. Most of its look today, including the Gothic arches and the stained glass, comes from work in the 1880s and 1890s.
