HERE to read what the Church teaches about
the Sacrament of Matrimony, as expressed
in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Sacrament of Matrimony is most often celebrated
on Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening, or Friday evening.
However, any day or time may be accommodated based on the
availability of the priest, the church schedule, and any other
facilities needed. |
|
|

|
Because of the formation and planning required for
the celebration of the Sacrament of Matrimony, couples are required
to contact the priest at least six months prior to their intended
wedding date. This meeting can be scheduled by calling the
parish office at [phone].
At the first of several meetings with the priest, the date can be
set based on the couple's goal, the priest's availability, the
church availability, and the reception hall availability (if
desired).
In addition to several formation / preparation sessions with the
priest, the engaged couple will be referred to a married parish
couple for sponsoring, and also referred to the Engaged Encounter
retreat program.
At least 2-3 months prior to the wedding date, the parish music
coordinator
[contact] should be contacted. |
