Marriage

"Marriage is the Most Beautiful Thing God Created."

-Pope Francis
A bride at church
 
Who can be married at Our Lady of Sorrows?

If you, your family, your fiancé, or your fiancé's family is a registered member of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish you can request a wedding date.  The Bishops of Michigan request a period of 6 months of preparation before the wedding.
 
What if my fiancé is not Catholic?

Only one party needs to be Roman Catholic in order to celebrate the Sacrament of Marriage in the Catholic Church.
 
Now that I am engaged, what comes next?
