Sacrament of Marriage, or Holy Matrimony, is a public sign that one gives oneself totally to this other person. It is also a public statement about God: the loving union of husband and wife speaks of family values and also God's values.

The couple (or one of the two) seeking Marriage must be a registered member of a Catholic parish before contacting Fr. Bob, Deacon Ted or Deacon Kevin to set up a wedding date. Initial contact should be 9 - 12 months in advance of your proposed wedding date to go over the guidelines for your wedding and to begin marriage preparation in order for your marriage to take place at St. Jude or another approved Church.  Weddings are normally celebrated Friday evenings or Saturday afternoons.  Other days may be arranged with the presiding minister. 

Note: If you live outside the area that would prevent you from doing your marriage prep here; then you can approach your friendly Catholic parish where you live and do the pre-marriage preparation that is require by that Diocese, but you will still need to meet with Fr. Bob, Deacon Ted or Deacon Kevin sometime before beginning the marriage preparation process.

NO weddings are celebrated during the Lenten season.
