Congratulations on your Engagement!
We are honored to help with your marriage preparation. Please contact the parish office at least 8 months prior to the proposed wedding date to arrange a meeting with the priest or deacon. At this initial meeting, the priest or deacon will outline the required preparation and help you with scheduling a wedding date. No wedding date will be made prior to meeting with the priest or deacon. Please click on the link for the Wedding Guidelines, which will help you in the planning of your ceremony.

But even more important is planning and preparing for your Marriage. Start with the Better Together Marriage Prep Inventory sponsored by the good folks at Dynamic Catholic.
