Congratulations on your engagement! We are so happy and thankful for you. We also praise God that you are inviting him into your wedding by going through the sacramental marriage prep and getting married in the Church. Please contact a priest of the parish as soon as possible but at least six (6) months in advance of your wedding date so that you can begin the process.
When the priest has determined that no canonical impediments prevent the couple from marrying, the priest will book the date of the wedding celebration. The engaged couple is responsible for securing the date with the church before making commitments with caterers, reception halls, etc.
At least one member of the engaged couple should be an active, registered parishioner of Sacred Hearts and plan on worshipping with us regularly, before and after the ceremony.
During the six (6) months before the wedding, a couple should explore their call to the sacrament of married life through learning, sharing, prayer, and growth to discover the blessings and insights your Christian heritage offers. Several aspects of this process will occur during these months before your wedding.
