Diocesan regulations require all couples planning marriage to contact the priest or deacon at least nine months prior to the desired date of the marriage. Preparation for marriage at St. Mary's requires several meetings with the priest or deacon, completion of the FOCCUS on-line assessment questionnaire, several sessions with a mentor couple from the parish, attendance at a diocesan seminar entitled "Marriage as a Sacrament" and any additional preparation that the priest may deem necessary.
Weddings at Saint Mary’s are usually celebrated on Saturdays, but may also be scheduled at other times at the discretion of the pastor. No Saturday weddings can be scheduled later than 2:00pm. Please contact the pastor to discuss the availability of potential wedding dates BEFORE booking your reception site.
At your first meeting with the priest or deacon, you will be given a booklet which outlines all of our wedding guidelines. Please be sure to consult this booklet before planning your wedding liturgy.
