This is a wonderful and exciting time for not only the couple but the whole family.
Marriage in the Catholic tradition is a covenant – a sacred vow that, like God’s promise of love to us, can never be broken. From the beginning, God created man and woman to be joined as a sign of His love both to each other and to the world.
In the Catholic Church, Marriage is one of seven Sacraments - a sacred sign that presents to the world a deeper spiritual reality. A man and woman in marriage reveal the full, free, faithful and fruitful love that Jesus Christ has for each of us.

The Process leading up to your Wedding
The Process leading up to your Wedding
You are most welcome to ask one of our Priests (details below) we ask you approach the Priest after Mass to ask if they will be your celebrant.
Couples are asked to give at least six months’ notice to the officiating priest or deacon. One months’ notice is obligatory by law, but the longer notice requested here allows for calm and serious preparation for marriage.
Once your booking is confirmed, you will be required to have an Interview with the Priest, during this Interview you will complete the offical paperwork, the Priest will advise you on a Marriage course. Prior to your Wedding you will have a 2nd Wedding Interview to plan your Wedding Ceremony and finalise the required documents.
