​

The date and time of the ceremony should be coordinated with one of our parish priests. Couples will interview with a priest. The readiness and freedom each person to be married will be reviewed at this time; a church form called an “investigatio” is completed and any dispensations are arranged. The Bishop requires a 6-month preparation period prior to the wedding.

​

Attendance at Pre Cana conferences or a similar marriage preparation program is required for both parties, you will be given a schedule.

​

A new baptismal certificate, issued within 6 months of the wedding date must be obtained from the church you were baptized. (Catholic party only)

​

A New York State Marriage License must be obtained at least 24 hours before the wedding: it is valid for 2 months after it is issued. NYS Law will NOT permit a ceremony to take place without a license. Please bring it to the church at the time of the rehearsal.

​

Generally, weddings are celebrated at 2:00 PM on Saturdays. Rehearsals are usually scheduled for the evening before your wedding.

​

Wedding Fee: $200.00

Musician Fee: Depending on music requested, this will be worked out between you and the musician.
