Hilaria is Alec’s June bride

Alec Baldwin and his yoga instructor fiancée, Hilaria Thomas, are planning a Catholic wedding at a storied New York church for the weekend of June 30.

The couple will tie the knot at the Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral on Mulberry Street in NoLIta, a landmarked church built in about 1810, reports The Post’s Jennifer Gould Keil.

The site has a Hollywood pedigree — it was where Francis Ford Coppola filmed the famous baptism scene in “The Godfather,” in which Al Pacino’s renunciation of Satan was intercut with the massacre of the Corleone family’s enemies.

Martin Scorsese used the church’s walled graveyard for a scene in his breakout film, “Mean Streets,” and as a location in “Gangs of New York.”

But any Hollywood comparisons end there. Pope Benedict XVI bestowed basilica status on the historic house of worship in 2010.

“This wasn’t a quick decision. It took a lot of planning,” a source says of Baldwin’s wedding date, explaining that baptismal certificates had to be produced, among various other documents.

It was previously believed that Baldwin and Mallorca-born Thomas could elope in Europe after the Cannes Film Festival, where he was shooting a movie with director James Toback.

It will be the first marriage for Thomas, 28, and the second for Baldwin, 54, who was wed to Kim Basinger for eight years before they split 2001.

Baldwin’s wedding to Basinger in 1993 was on a beach in East Hampton in front of about 100 guests, including Paul Newman, Billy Joel, Christie Brinkley and Chynna Phillips.

A report at the time said the stars “walked into a circle of smoothed sand at the water’s edge,” and “Rose pedals flew . . . as the bride and groom kissed.”

The “Rock of Ages” and “30 Rock” star and Thomas became engaged in early April on Long Island. They moved in together last August when Baldwin sold off his $9.5 million Central Park West co-op to live with Thomas in SoHo.

A rep for Baldwin had no comment.
