Congratulations on Your Engagement!

Marriage is a beautiful vocation and a lifelong covenant of love.

In the Sacrament of Matrimony, a man and woman freely give themselves to one another in a faithful, lifelong union, inviting Christ to be at the center of their marriage and family life.

As you prepare for your wedding, the Church also invites you to prepare for something even greater: your life together as husband and wife.

Planning a Catholic Wedding

If you are considering celebrating the Sacrament of Matrimony at St. Jude the Apostle or St. Michael the Archangel, we look forward to walking with you through the preparation process.

Couples should contact the parish at least eight months before their anticipated wedding date to begin the conversation and marriage preparation process.

May God bless you during this joyful time of preparation and as you discern your life together in Christ.
