Initial Paperwork: About 6 months before your wedding begin your initial paper work with the priest or deacon arranging your wedding. At this time, we will discuss the most appropriate formal preparation program for you.
- Sacramental Preparation: If either the bride or groom wishes to be baptized or confirmed before the wedding, participation in our Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is recommended. The priest or deacon arranging your wedding can help you with this process.
- Officiant: As part of your marriage preparation program, you will meet several times with the priest or deacon celebrating your wedding. You will complete all paperwork during these sessions.
- Music Planning: Contact the Music Office to begin arrangements for the music for your wedding. Information on Music Planning is found elsewhere in this folder.
- Offerings and Fees: Offerings and fees should be received no less that 6 weeks prior to the date of the wedding. For your convenience, envelopes will be provided.
The offering to the church helps to defray the expenses of the operation of the church building, set-up and clean-up of the wedding and the handling of legal documents. There is no fee for the priest, but those wishing to give a separate gift to the priest may do so.
All Music Arrangements are made by the Music Director. Please see the Music
Planning page elsewhere in this folder.
Music fees will be discussed as a part of the music planning process.
The parish office will provide you with a schedule of fees when you make arrangements to schedule your wedding.
- Together For Life Form: Prior to the evening of the wedding rehearsal, the Together For Life book form is to be completed. Please bring the completed form to the rehearsal, to be given to the rehearsal couple.
Note: The individual priest or deacon arranging your wedding may require further procedures.
