Congratulations on your upcoming celebration of Holy Matrimony and sharing in this Sacrament!
Your wedding is not only a very special day for the two of you but it is also a sacred event for the entire Church, and we want to be part of your celebration!
Please Read:
Before couples are married in the Catholic Church, we ask that you thoroughly prepare for this life-long sacrament. Marriage preparation or "Pre-Cana" is an umbrella term for the whole marriage preparation process. Pre-Cana is not a one-day event as many believe it to be but a timely process
in preparing for marriage. Here is a step-by-step guide to marriage preparation:
1. Make contact with your priest or deacon as soon as possible after the
engagement , but not less than six months prior to the wedding date.
2. Read the Couple's Guide.
3. Set an appointment to take a pre-marital inventory, e.g., FOCCUS with your pastor or deacon.
4.
Register and take both courses in either order. Both are required.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, any couple getting married in October of 2020 or later should register for marriage preparation offerings in August or later. There are no more summer marriage preparation opportunities.
If you are getting married before the month of August and still haven't completed your marriage preparation courses, please contact your parish for online options.
