Although religion is a spiritual experience, places of worship are institutions, which require financial support. Therefore, we request the following amounts for the use of church facilities for a wedding. If such a request poses a problem for the couple, the fees may be adjusted accordingly.

RESERVING THE CHURCH
After you have met with the priest/deacon, you will fill out a Wedding Reservation Form with the presider. A $100 deposit is due at the time of booking, and is non-refundable. The remainder of the fee must be paid at least 2 months prior to the wedding date. Denise Abele will collect all wedding fees.
If you are registered at another parish, you may have the priest preside at your wedding at St. Thomas More. The Pastor must be aware of this and grant proper delegation for a visiting priest. A Letter of Suitability must be sent to the Diocese of Austin Canonical & Tribunal by his superior to show he is a priest in good standing.
