I think there's one in town just off Division St, I walk past there every morning and it definitely looks like a Catholic church although I've never been in.

They are listed here..........

I will be getting married i am fussy on what i will look for in a church it is only that my fiance is ctholic that we want a catholic church. It is just me being picky on what i like.
For example i like the church that notre dame school use but it not catholic they just get a catholic priest in, (still trying to talk fiance into that). thanks for all your help

That's Saint Matthews, Sarah, it's actually Anglican (C of E) but it's what is known as "High-Church"

Ahh I see. It's a lovely building, I've taken some photos of it, and looks really strange tucked behind the likes of Yates and RSVP.

St Maries Cathedral,Norfolk Row. A beautiful church but not sure where you would have photos taken, there doesnt seem to be much in the way of grounds. Still, a lovely church though.

Sacred Heart above I went to school next to there. Thats a wonderful catholic church.

Hate to put the dampers on this but churches are not products in a supermarket that you choose because they look nice.
In order to marry in a Catholic church you would have to persuade the priest (who won't make any money from the wedding, compared to the Anglican churches), that you will undertake a Catholic marriage, and that you are seriously committed to one another, promise to bring your children up as Catholics etc.
It is more common for the Catholic partner to make initial enquiries to the priest in the parish in which they live, as they will be asked in which church they were baptised etc.
Both partners will also have to undergo some 'training' in to what a Catholic marriage entails, and show that they take this religion seriously.
Due to the acute shortage of priests in the diocese I suggest they will be unwilling to officiate at a wedding that seems to have such superficial critieria. That's just my hunch.

I remember you could walk into St Maries (always thought it was Mary's) on Norfolk row at any time, last time i was there the doors were closed as vandals kept breaking in , just opened up for Mass hours.

St Patricks at Lane Top was our church, I went to that school too later on.

That's a bit unfair jomarch. The Anglican Church has a set scale of fees for different services. The vicar has to declare any of these fees he receives, which are then deducted from his salary.

The Catholic Church is similar;
"Although religion is a spiritual experience, places of worship are institutions which require financial support. Therefore, fees or offerings may be suggested, or requested, for the use of church facilities for a wedding. "

Sacred Heart ripley st hillsborough is a lovely church...so is the priest...

Don't want to put a dampner on it but getting married in a catholic church doesn't quite work by picking the prettiest, you would need to pick the church then your fiance must go and speak to the priest and see if agrees to it if he does he will then ask you to get a letter from your parish priest to say that it is ok to be married in another parish, you will probably have to attend marriage councelling before the date. You will also need letters of freedom to say neither of you have been married before. Their is alot to be considered part of the service is agreeing to bring up your future children in the catholic faith, having said all that sacred heart is lovely inside and the priest is very nice too! good luck

Aye, he's a good man is Father Shaun.

Maybe it was a bit harsh, but I felt a bit exasperated that someone could just pick and mix a church because it looks nice.
I didn't have to pay a fee for my wedding, and neither did anyone I know of who married in a Catholic church- but we did give an appropriate gift to the priest for his services.
I wasn't saying that Anglican vicars are on the make, just that the criteria for marrying people is slightly different.
I know people who have paid a lot of money to marry in a 'popular' church.
I hope the OP has learned something from this.

st.teresa's on prince of wales road. Father Adrian is a nice bloke and very straight talking (if You like that!!!!).Its also a lovely church inside!!! But its true that You have to get permission from your own parish. I had my son baptised at ST. Teresa's last jan and we live in skegness we had to get permission from our priest to be able to baptise him in sheff because our families live there.
Theres also ST.Catherines on burngreave road which used to be a lovely church but ive not been there for a long time so can't say what its like now!!!

Oh, has father Brian left ST's now? ok it's nine years since i moved away so It's not beyond the realms of possibility that he'd moved to another parish...

If you mean Brian Davies I can tell you that he's been at St Michaels, Wombwell (now Corpus Christi, incorporating St Helens Hoyland and Sacred Heart Goldthorpe) for quite a while. He's very busy running three parishes, has reduced his nicotine consumption, and is a great parish priest!!!

Good to know he's ok. I knew Father Michael Killeen and Father Tolan (from Crosspool, and St William of York, at Ecclesall) a little better than Father Brian, but I was on the Anglican parish council in Manor back then, and had links with him, through that. He was a nice chap. A couple of friends of mine were his parishioners.

Ye it would be nice if you could pick the nicest church for your wedding photos :hihi::hihi:

Be prepared to go to said church for months , have meetings with the priest and nuns then if your very lucky and the priest is in a good mood you might get your wish :D

St Annes at deepcar is a good church with a freindly priest.
