Marriage Preparation

Congratulations on your engagement!  The Sacrament of Marriage is a covenant (more than a contractual agreement) and the community of St. Gabriel is here to help you prepare for this permanent union and your wedding liturgy.

Who is this Marriage Preparation for:

A man and woman with a recent engagement OR a couple who are already civilly married (outside the Catholic Church) and would now like to receive the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony.

About the Process:

Our Marriage Preparation Coordinator will accompany couples preparing to be married through a step-by-step process that includes:

• Guidance through critical decision and preparation steps
• Marriage preparation for leading an enriched married life, guided by one of our sponsor couples
• Liturgy planning with our Wedding Liturgical Coordinator
• Collection of information and establishing both parties are free to marry
• Meeting with  the priest or deacon who will be witnessing your wedding
• Rehearsal and celebration of the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony 
• Post-wedding opportunities for the couple to grow together here at St. Gabriel

Get Started:  Wedding Inquiry Form 

Please inquire at least NINE to twelve months prior to the intended date of your marriage (and do not book reception space until after confirming a wedding date with us).
