Parents are asked to attend an evening of instruction & reflection before the celebration of the sacrament. The family must be registered in the Parish. Families who live outside the parish and are returning to this as your 'home parish' will need to provide a letter from their current pastor giving permission for the baptism to take place in our parish.
Those families who have attended an instruction with the last five years are not required to repeat this instruction for their child's baptism. -
Marriage
Couples planning to celebrate the Sacrament of Matrimony should contact the parish twelve months before the proposed wedding date. This is to assure time before finalizing details for a wedding that everything is permissible by Church law. Couples who have been married (either civilly or by the Church) previously may need more than a year to be in compliance with Church law.
