Wedding Planning

Marriage is to help married people sanctify themselves and others. For this reason, they receive a special grace in the sacrament which Jesus instituted. Those who are called to the married state will, with the grace of God, find within their state everything they need to be holy.

- St. Josemaría Escrivá

Engaged couples must contact the parish office at least 6 months prior to the planned wedding date to begin pre-wedding preparation. 

We have provided a Wedding Planning Guide to help you begin this exciting process.
