A man and woman hoping to be married in the Catholic Church at St. Bartholomew should contact Deacon Gerry at least 6 months prior to the proposed date to check on availability and communicate intended arrangements. At least one of the engaged persons should be a registered member of our parish for 6+ months before opening discussion with the parish about wedding plans.
As part of marriage preparation, we highly recommend:
- Engaged Encounter
- Natural Family Planning
- Programs at Ruah Woods
- Theology of the Body (here are resources for teens if you’re looking to help your kids understand marriage and sexuality)
