Overview of the Marrriage Preparation Process

All couples to be prepared for the Sacrament of Marriage through Our Lady of Guadalupe Church will have one of our Priests or Deacons and other support staff to assist them throughout the process.  Both bride and groom should attend any sessions together as a couple.  Each couple's situation is unique, so we provide this overview as a guide only; the final decision on what elements might be required for a particular couple will be determined by the Priest or Deacon working with the couple, with the approval of our pastor.

For all ages:
