Did you know that the priest does NOT confer the sacrament of Holy Matrimony? 

The priest or deacon is merely the church's 'witness' to the man and woman making their vows before God. It is the husband and wife who minister the Sacrament to each other from God. However, the fact that a husband and wife make the sacrament between themselves and God does not mean that they can 'unmake' this union, as it is a covenant until the death of one of the parties. Yes, it's that important---it's that holy!

What do I need to do?

The bride or groom must be active, registered members of the parish for at least six months before reserving a date for a wedding. In addition to the parish registration criteria, the diocese requires that arrangements must be made at least six months in advance of the wedding date in order for the proper personal, spiritual and liturgical preparation of the couple is complete. A pre-marriage program is required.

We do not schedule weddings during the seasons of Advent or Lent.

Please contact the parish office to set up an appointment.
