Marriage

Congratulations on Your Engagement!

 
Our parish community is delighted to celebrate with you as you prepare for marriage in the Catholic Church. Engagement is a unique period dedicated not only to planning your wedding day, but, more importantly, to building the foundation of a lifelong, faithful union rooted in Christ. In a world where trends come and go, the Catholic Church invites you to prepare for a lasting marriage, one that is open to the many graces and blessings God wishes to bestow upon you through this sacrament. Amid all the tasks on your Wedding To-Do List, we encourage you to embrace this time to deepen your love and commitment to each other, to God, and to His Church.
Marriage Preparation
 
You are making a beautiful choice to begin your marriage in the presence of God. Marriage preparation focuses on helping couples understand the sacramental nature of marriage as a path toward holiness. Working with a priest, a mentor couple, and others, engaged couples will explore the beauty and the challenges of married life to better equip them for a lifetime of love together.
 

Where do we start?

 
If you do not yet have a parish home, be sure to register with the parish. At least one of the parties must be a registered, practicing Catholic member of our parish community. Please contact the parish at least six months prior to your desired wedding date and before booking your reception venue to allow adequate time for preparation.
