Sacrament of Marriage
Congratulations on your decision to marry in the Catholic Church.
We are happy and look forward to helping you prepare for such an important step.
To begin your preparation and complete all necessary requirements, contact the parish office six months prior to your desired wedding date to schedule an appointment with the parish priest.
During the preparation to receive the Sacrament of Matrimony, we encourage you to actively participate in your Catholic faith by attending Holy Mass on Sundays and frequently receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
What should be kept in mind to begin the preparation process?
To be married in our parish, couples must participate in various marriage preparation programs and meet other requirements.
Complete the application form on our website. You will receive a call to schedule an appointment with a priest or deacon in charge to begin the marriage preparation process.
It is recommended that you begin the preparation process a minimum of six months prior to your desired wedding date to complete all necessary requirements.
During the wedding preparation process, the time should be one of learning and growing in your love for each other including actively practicing your Catholic faith. Therefore, we strongly encourage our couples to attend Holy Mass on Sundays, go more frequently to the Sacrament of Reconciliation or Confession, but particularly a few days before the wedding ceremony. Faithful reception of these sacraments will deepen your spiritual life and enhance the quality of your wedding liturgy.
Parents: How do you fit into the wedding preparations?
Parents, we thank you for your interest and concern during such an important event.
From the beginning and throughout the preparation process, we only communicate with the bride and groom. The couple is the only one who can communicate to us the decisions they have made with the pastor.
