To obtain a copy of your Sacramental Record
Any member of the Christian faithful has a right to obtain a certificate of a sacrament received. Only that person, or the parents of a minor, or a legal guardian have this right. Certificates may also be released to another Catholic Church where the person is receiving a new sacrament. Requests for certificates should be submitted in writing and must bear the signature of the person whose certificate is being requested. Once a request has been processed, the individual may pick up their certificate in person for the Cathedral’s Parish Office with a valid photo ID or it may be mailed to the individuals home parish. The certificate may also be mailed directly to the parish requesting the certificate. No information from sacramental registers may be provided by telephone or for genealogy purposed.
Genealogy requests should be directed to the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis at https://www.archspm.org/archives-and-records/genealogical-research.

If you are a registered and active member of the Cathedral parish
You should contact the parish office prior to arranging any of the other details of your wedding. An initial meeting will enable the priest/deacon to outline the requirements of marriage preparation for the Archdiocese of Saint Paul Minneapolis, as well as specific details for weddings at the Cathedral. Only after an initial meeting may a date be reserved for a wedding. This meeting will also allow you to clarify any questions you may have regarding the requirements.
For parishioners who have been registered and actively supporting the parish for a minimum of six (6) months prior to beginning the marriage preparation process, an offering for the use of the Cathedral in the amount of $1,000 (which includes a security person, wedding coordinator, organist, and cantor) will also be required. Marriage preparation classes at the Cathedral are free of charge, but couples are expected to attend an Archdiocesan retreat and a Natural Family Planning Course, both of which have a fee.

Today’s privacy laws do not permit hospitals to contact churches unless specifically requested. We are made aware of it only when the individual or their friends or family contact us.
