The Sacrament of Marriage

Marriage in the Catholic Church is a sacred covenant — a lifelong union rooted in faith, commitment, and grace. At Saint Michael Parish, we are honored to accompany couples as they prepare for this important step in their lives.

Preparation for marriage is not simply about planning a wedding day. It is about forming a strong foundation for a Christ-centered marriage.

Marriage Preparation at Saint Michael Parish

Couples who wish to marry at Saint Michael Parish are invited to begin the marriage preparation process at least six months before their desired wedding date.

Preparation includes:

• Meetings with a priest or deacon
• An approved marriage preparation program
• Completion of required Church documentation
• Planning the wedding liturgy

Each couple’s situation is unique, and we are here to guide you through each step.

Already Married Civilly?

Couples who are already civilly married and wish to have their marriage recognized in the Catholic Church may seek a convalidation.

We are happy to assist you in beginning that process as well.
