Who can be married at Our Lady of Sorrows?
Arrangements for a wedding must be made at least six months in advance to allow proper preparation for marriage in the Catholic Church. One person of the couple must be a practicing Catholic and an active, registered parishioner of Our Lady of Sorrows for at least three months prior to requesting a wedding date. Please complete the online registration form to request a date.
What if my fiancé is not Catholic?
Only one party needs to be a Latin Rite Roman Catholic in order to celebrate the Sacrament of Marriage in the Roman Catholic Church.
