Plan Your Wedding

Congratulations!

Weddings are memorable and joyous times for brides and grooms, for their families and friends, and for the parish community. The new beginning, the love, the promise and the hope that weddings signify for us make their celebration a special and grace-filled time.

We are happy to share this special time with you on the occasion of a most important day in your lives when you accept from God his blessing in the Sacrament of Matrimony.

The wedding ceremony

If both parties are Catholic, the marriage may be celebrated within Mass, and is called a Nuptial Mass. The Rite of Marriage alone is called a marriage ceremony. Please discuss with the priest any special or cultural customs you plan to include.

You are encouraged to "personalize" your marriage ceremony by choosing the prayers and scripture readings you wish to have read at the ceremony. The booklet, Together for Life, will be given to you to help facilitate your choices.

Know that it is our sincere desire to work together with you in making your celebration of the Sacrament of Marriage a meaningful, enjoyable and memorable one. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
