Process |
We welcome all couples planning to marry at Holy Redeemer. We suggest at least one year's notice so that a date can be scheduled and it can be determined that nothing stands in the way of the valid and licit celebration of the proposed wedding (Canon 1066), and to begin the preparation process.
Wedding Masses are celebrated on Saturday, and may begin as early as 11:00 a.m., but no later than 12:30 p.m. It is highly recommended for couples who reside in our parish that they be registered active members for at least 12 months prior to the marriage, attending Mass regularly, and participating in our envelope system before initiating the marriage preparation process, which requires approximately six months. If the Catholic party lives outside the parish, they need to register and participate where they reside. We are happy to help couples in a positive way prepare for their joyful wedding day and later married life. Those who have been previously married are encouraged to contact us so that we may help you to understand the truth of Church teaching and how that relates to your individual situation. Those who were married outside the Catholic church are also encouraged to contact us so that we may help you to have your marriage blessed in your faith so that you may receive the graces that flow from this beautiful sacrament. |
