May the Lord in His goodness strengthen your consent and fill you both with His blessings. What God has joined together, let no man put asunder."
Congratulations! The Sacrament of Marriage is a wonderful step on your faith journey! At St. Patrick, we have a detailed process for your upcoming wedding. The theology of the marriage preparation here at St. Patrick is based on the directives of both the Archdiocese and of our own parish. We believe in the joyful celebration of your wedding ceremony and we will help you to truly celebrate. Also, we look beyond the ceremony to celebrate the marriage relationship that you will have for a lifetime together. Our aim is to serve. We offer these directives as our effort to help you celebrate a faith-filled wedding day and a marrage commitment that is to last a lifetime!
Steps for arranging your wedding at St. Patrick:
Note: The wedding rehearsal will be conducted by your sponsor couple or another designated person and, therefore, will not be an opportunity to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation at that time. If you wish for an opportunity to celebrate Reconciliation, please consult the parish bulletin for the parish schedule or make private arrangements by calling a priest.
