We congratulate couples on their decision to join each other in the Sacrament of Marriage. This is a major decision, and we promise our support and our prayers for them.
 

Marriage preparation takes place with the engaged couple, parish clergy, and lay parishioners. We spend time in preparation because we value marriage and family so highly. We want the marital relationship to be full, holy, and life-giving. This sacrament doesn’t happen only on the wedding day but is lived out every day.

 
To begin preparation, please contact Kristi Kelly, who will assist couples and answer their questions. Later in the process, a wedding assistant will help plan the ceremony itself.  Click here to download our Planning for Holy Matrimony booklet.
 

Our pastoral associate for music is available to discuss music for weddings. Call the church office to set up an appointment.
 

Engaged couples also are asked to participate in a pre-marital retreat. The Joy-Filled Marriage Weekend is offered through the Diocese of Kalamazoo.  To obtain a current schedule, contact Socorro Truchan.
