Sacrament of Matrimony

Current parishioners and their children are welcome to be married in our parish church. To arrange for the Sacrament of Marriage, please contact our parish office no later than one year in advance. Engaged couples who wish to be joined in the Sacrament of Matrimony must meet with the pastor in person to discuss details and requirements. Please, note that the Catholic Church requires that all couples must take a pre-marital course and provide a recently obtained baptismal certificate from the church where they were baptized.

If you are awaiting the decision of the marriage tribunal regarding a possible annulment, please wait until you have received your final papers.

Couples living locally or elsewhere and intending to marry, whether in our parish, another parish, or in another country, must contact the parish office to obtain all pertinent information and the necessary forms. This must be done one year before the planned marriage date. In addition, only the couple seeking marriage should contact the parish office — no inquiries by parents please.
