Congratulations on your Engagement!  This is an exciting time in your life and a time where the church can assist you in preparing for the awesome vocation of married life.  Preparation for the Sacrament of Matrimony requires the couple to enter into formation so that they may be ready to assume the duties of marriage in mutual and lasting fidelity.  Our pastoral staff is here to help you prepare for a beautiful life in the Sacrament of Marriage.  

Please note: Couples are responsible for making their appointments and turning their documentations in a timely manor. Persons who are previously married or couples who have special circumstances may have a slightly different plan of formation and timetable. 

Please look at the checklist below for refrence:

• Complete Wedding/Inquiry Form & read wedding guidelines.
• Provide recently issued Baptismal Certificates (issued within the past 6 months with notations on the back) 
• Take the online Fully Engaged assessment in a timely manner (set up by parish office)
• Meet with a parish clergy to complete the Form A (pre-nuptial investigation) 
• Secure a date with a deposit of $200.00
