Marriage Preparation

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! This is an exciting time in your life.  Your love for one another has led you to make this marriage commitment!

To set your wedding date, please call the parish office (769-2550) a minimum of nine months before you are planning to be married.  Because you as a couple and your impending marriage are so important, you will meet with one of the parish priests who will explain the marriage preparation process to you.

When a couple is married "in the Catholic Church" we believe, as Catholics, that they not only commit themselves to one another, but they make a marriage commitment to God and to the Catholic community.  The  marriage is not a private affair.  In turn, the community and God commits themselves to support the couple in their marriage.  This, in part, is why all marriages take place within the church building.  Even more important, because the marriage covenant is grounded in faith and will only be successful lived in faith, it is essential that the couple be practicing and living their faith within a parish community.

Once again, congratulations on your upcoming marriage!
