Engaged couples wishing to celebrate the Sacrament of Marriage are asked to contact the parish office (387-7119) at least six months prior to the date of the celebration. Generally, weddings are celebrated on Friday and Saturday. The last Saturday wedding time is 2:30 PM.

The preparation program will include the administration of “Facilitating Open Couple Communication, Understanding and Study.” At another session the FOCUS will be reviewed, the couples’ biographical information will be on record and assistance will be given to plan a truly faith-filled ceremony. Rehearsal is usually the day before the wedding ceremony, but this need not always be the case.

We extend to the couple the freedom to invite any ordained priest or deacon to officiate at the ceremony. In cases where the bride or groom is of another denomination or ecclesial community, we welcome their minister or rabbi to participate. Kindly notify the priest, deacon and guest who will participate at the ceremony. This will help to avoid any scheduling conflicts. The officiant will wish to meet with the couple prior to the ceremony.

The parish of Our Lady of the Assumption has a professional music director who will arrange musical selections with the couple. Mr. Keith Smolinksi, (389-1712) should be contracted after making initial contact with the rectory office.

The preparation program is moderated by married couples of the parish. Their insight, presence and support will help the couple make their wedding meaningful and a truly faith-filled experience.
