Marriage

ATTENTION, FUTURE BRIDES AND GROOMS

Please contact the church as soon as possible when planning your wedding! Too often, couples want to book the reception hall before doing anything else. Diocesan policy is that the couple must meet with the priest at least 6 months before a contemplated marriage. And it happens at times that the sacrament cannot be celebrated on the date that has been chosen, either because there is already a wedding scheduled that day or the priest is unavailable or there needs to be more time for the sacramental preparation. Before any date for a wedding can be formalized, the couple must meet with the priest, so please be mindful of this before booking any reception hall!

Planning a Wedding? 

Here are three important steps that the Church requires: 

1. As soon as you are engaged, you should contact the pastor. He will go over with you the paperwork and documentation needed. 

2. Once the documentation (Baptism, Communion and Confirmation certificates) is ready, contact the parish office to set up a face-to-face appointment to fill out the marriage application. 

3. The pastor will go over with the bride and groom the regulations of the Church pertaining to the upcoming wedding.
