Marriage

Through Sacramental Marriage, a man and a woman enter a covenant of love and mission. This covenant is their response to God’s call to holiness, and is a sign of Christ’s love in the world.

If you are engaged and looking for a place for your wedding, congratulations on your engagement!

We rejoice with you on your decision to invite Christ into your marriage.

Want to get married at Maternity of Mary?

1. Contact the parish priest at least six months before your wedding. Enrolling as a parishioner is required.

2. Your priest will reach out about scheduling marriage preparation, which includes completion and discussion of the FOCCUS premarital inventory, attending a marriage preparation weekend, meeting with one of the priests, and preparing the wedding liturgy.

If you were married outside the Catholic Church, you may seek for your union to be officially recognized by the Church. This is known as convalidation of marriage, and allows you to receive the fullness of Sacraments and Grace.
