Marriage is a sacrament by which an individual man and woman enter into a union in such a way that they deliberately and consciously choose to live their lives in such oneness that they incarnate the loving relationship between Christ and the Church. 

Preparation for this sacrament begins by contacting the Parish office and scheduling a meeting with the Priest.  The Bishops of Michigan have agreed on both the process and the length of time in which this process should minimally take place:  Preparation for the sacrament of marriage will take place over the course of at least 6 months and will include meeting with the Priest, taking a pre-marriage inventory and participating in Pre-Cana Formation. Documents  necessary to be married in the church include baptismal records.

Persons seeking to get married in the Church must be free to marry, therefore if there is a prior marriage an annulment must be given by the church prior to marriage. 

Please call the Priest to begin the process of Marriage preparation
