At least one party must be a registered member of St. Mary's Parish or be a daughter/son of a St. Mary's parishioner. If the latter, the person must also be a registered member of a Catholic parish where she/he resides.
The applicable party must be a registered, active member of St. Mary's for a minimum of three months before marriage preparation can begin.
The couple must check with the parish office at least eight months before the date of the wedding for availability.
The couple must participate in all of the appropriate marriage preparation programs offered.
