"Because Christian marriage is a sacrament, the Catholic Church wants couples to be well-prepared. Dioceses and parishes offer marriage preparation to help couples develop a better understanding of the sacrament; to evaluate and deepen their readiness to live married life; and to gain insights into themselves as individuals and as a couple."

- USCCB

For couples planning to marry in the Catholic Church, please contact the parish office six to nine months before your anticipated wedding date to begin the marriage preparation process.
