We look forward to talking to you about having your wedding at the Duquesne Chapel of the Holy Spirit! Please find information below about the process.
Requirements
- Either bride or groom must be a current student, an alum, or an employee of the University.
- Either bride or groom must be Roman Catholic.
- If either party has been married previously, there is paperwork that must be in place before the wedding can be scheduled.
Donations
- The suggested donation for the Chapel is $200.
- This does not cover the cost of musicians.
Musical Services
- Since marriage is a sacrament, its music is considered sung prayer and should therefore be appropriate for a liturgy.
- You may contact Debbie Kostosky at (412) 396-6021 or kostoskyFREEDUQUESNE to obtain contact information for pastoral musicians.
- You may also contact the Mary Pappert School of Music for contact information regarding qualified student musicians or hire qualified pastoral musicians by contacting the Mary Pappert School of Music at (412) 396-6080.
- You are also welcome to bring in qualified pastoral musicians to provide the music for your wedding.
Pastoral Services
- You must provide a priest or deacon for the ceremony.
- You may personally ask one of the Spiritans here at Duquesne, your parish priest, a friend of the family or a family member who is an ordained priest of the Roman rite.
Available Wedding Times
- Weddings are on Saturdays at 11 a.m. 1 p.m., or 3 p.m.
- You can access the chapel 1/2 hour before the ceremony. The entire ceremony (including photographs) may only last 90 minutes after the scheduled start time of the wedding. For this reason, there is to be no receiving line.
