Our Lady of Wisdom Wedding Agreement for the 

Season of Construction & Transition 

for Engaged Couples to be Married October 2026 - March 2027

​

Our Lady of Wisdom is in an exciting season as we prepare to transition to our new Church & Catholic Student Center. The nature of the construction project limits our ability to project a date for building completion. Once it is complete, the existing Church will be deconsecrated and the new church will be consecrated as a sacred space where liturgies, including wedding liturgies, can take place. Weddings will be celebrated in the new Church only after it is consecrated. Weddings cannot take place in the existing church building once the new Church is consecrated.

 

Between October 2026 and March 2027 Our Lady of Wisdom will confirm a wedding date for an engaged couple without surety of which Church space will be utilized on said wedding date. 

 

Our priests and staff, as always, welcome engaged couples to book a date and will be happy to assist a couple in their planning and preparation for the sacrament of marriage. No matter which church building a couple is married in, our highest goal is to provide a beautiful and holy setting for the wedding liturgy. We ask for the couple's patience and understanding in this process, and that they acknowledge with their signature below, the following should they book within the timeframe of October 2026 - March 2027:

 

A. Our Lady of Wisdom expects to have a reasonably concrete plan of when the church location change will take place by October 2026. At this time, staff will move forward with confirming various location-based details for the wedding liturgy with the engaged couple. Please note that the projected location of the wedding cannot be guaranteed until a date is set for consecrating the new Church. 

 

B. Should a couple be married in the current Church, the couple must be willing to accept the space as is, especially concerning any number of familiar components such as the stations of the cross or statues that may be in the process of removal and relocation. Couples can be assured that the space will be in good order and visually appropriate for a sacrament, even if some components are absent. 

 

C. Should a couple be married in the new Church, they can expect the same: The church will be in good order, visually appropriate for a sacrament, and as is. It is possible, for example, that any given component of the new Church may not yet be installed or set up completely. For example, statues or other permanent fixtures may not be installed. It is also important to note that this space will be new to everyone, which means that the first couples who are married in the new Church will be learning about the space alongside our priests and staff, which may result in greater communication in some areas than is typical.
