SACRAMENT OF MATRIMONY

Couples planning to marry at St. Monica's should contact the Rectory office one year in advance and before making any other arrangements - reception hall, caterers, etc.  One of the couple must be registered with the Parish (at least through their parents) for at least six months prior to setting a date.  They are expected to be practicing Catholics who frequently worship with this community.  (This does not refer to one of the party who may not be Catholic.)  All couples are required to confer with the Priest who will officiate and are required to attend pre-marriage preparation conferences such as Engaged Encounter or Pre-Cana.
