Holy Matrimony

Congratulations on your engagement! Our staff and parishioners extend our prayers and support as you prepare for the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony.

To be married in the Catholic Church, either the bride or groom needs to be a Roman Catholic practicing his or her faith. Both parties need to be free to marry within the Catholic Church. This freedom to marry will be established at your first meeting with a priest. We kindly ask that you wait to finalize any wedding dates or details until this freedom has been established.

Due to limited resources, our parishes are unable to host the nuptial liturgy for non-parishioners. We encourage non-parishioners to prepare for and celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony at their own parishes.

Please complete and submit the Wedding Request Form to begin the marriage preparation process. All requests for weddings are directed through Mrs. Anna Wahl, Wedding Coordinator, who will contact you to schedule a meeting. Please bring a $100 non-refundable deposit to your first meeting to reserve the church for your nuptial liturgy.
