Matrimony
Congratulations!
We are happy to be part of this important day in your lives;

What is involved in the preparation for marriage?
Our Diocese asks the couple to meet with a priest or deacon a minimum of nine months in advance of the couples desired wedding date.
This is an important time in order to complete the necessary pre-marital preparations in a manner that is not rushed and for the couple to develop a relationship with the priest or deacon who will assist with the preparation and or ceremony.
