Question

Sacred Heart Catholic Church looks like it's covered in scaffolding, are you sure this is the right place?

Answer

Yup, you're in the right spot! We know it might look closed from the outside, but once you see the inside you'll understand why we chose to get married here! Guests can still enter through the front doors where ushers will be there waiting to greet you!
