We require that couples give the parish at least nine month’s notice of intent to marry. Therefore, couples should contact the parish first, and then work their plans for the reception or honeymoon around the date they have arranged with the parish.
Couples from other parishes must obtain a letter from the pastor of the church in which they are registered granting permission for the marriage. Their home parish is responsible for all required instruction, investigation, and paperwork. In addition, the couple must make their own arrangements for a celebrant.
 Weddings are normally held on Saturday, between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., or if an evening wedding, at 6:00 p.m. from May to October. Weddings may not be scheduled on Sundays, holy days of obligation, Holy Week, including the vigil of Passion Sunday, and other special days.
Marriages may only be contracted between two free people;
that is, if neither has been married before. It is possible that an annulment may be required, and this may involve the non-Catholic partner.
Couples living together prior to marriage will be challenged to review this arrangement and encouraged to separate prior to the wedding.
A Wedding
Preparation Handbook is available for those seeking more comprehensive
information. Please contact our parish Wedding Coordinator, at the Parish Office.
