Sacramental Preparation - Marriage

Couples wanting to be married at Christ the King must contact the priest or deacon - and the parish office -  in sufficient time to complete paperwork and participate in marriage preparation.

The time for the preparation will vary, but expect at least four to six months before the wedding.

In the event that problems or obstacles to the marriage are discovered, the couple will have time to resolve their difficulties through, for example, counseling and canonical procedures. In certain cases, circumstances can arise that make the time requirement very difficult to observe.

Exceptions to this requirement should be made only for grave pastoral reasons and the couple should still be obliged to take part in all the steps of the marriage preparation process. The inability or unwillingness of the couple to understand the need for an adequate preparation for marriage does not constitute a grave reason. 

Please contact the parish office at 946-1675 to start the process; click here to download a copy of Preparing for the Sacrament of Marriage at Christ the King.
