Wedding liturgies are celebrated on Saturdays at 10:30 am, 12:30 pm, and 2:30 pm. One of our priests will work with you to determine a date after you have submitted the initial paperwork.

Yes. Your decision to marry is joyful and serious – joyful in that your love for each other in marriage will bring you an ever-deepening experience of love, but serious in that your lives will be changed for a lifetime. Moreover, your marriage has great significance to the life of the Catholic Church. It is important that you enter your new life together with as much knowledge and insight as possible into your relationship with each other and with God and the Church. To help guide you, the Church offers you several options for marriage preparation. See the details here.

The Catholic Church requires that weddings are held inside the church as an essential part of the religious communal celebration of the sacrament of marriage.

Just as with other sacraments of the Catholic Church, the commitment you make to each other is defined by the Church to clearly state the needed content. The present rite offers two sets of texts that may be used. The first set offers an opportunity for the couple to state vows; the other set allows their consent to be made as a response to questions asked by the priest.

Please indicate this on the Wedding Request Form you give to our Parish Office. Gather all relevant documentation regarding a prior marriage such as a wedding license, a decree of divorce, and a decree of nullity to give to the priest when you meet.

There must be at least six months between the initial interview with the parish priest and the proposed wedding date. We receive many wedding requests so we highly recommend you complete the Wedding Registration Form and return it to our Parish Office at least one year in advance.

A Wedding Coordinator will be provided by St. Edward the Confessor Parish to assist and advise you in planning your wedding ceremony and to conduct your wedding rehearsal. On your wedding day she will prepare the church and make certain that all is ready for a smooth and prayerful marriage ceremony. Additional wedding coordinators are welcome as guests but are not permitted to serve in a professional capacity at our church and chapel.

Your rehearsal will be held where your wedding will take place: either in our church or our chapel. After our priest confirms your wedding date you may call our Parish Office to reserve the church or chapel for your rehearsal. Wedding rehearsals usually last one hour and are held on Thursdays or Fridays at 4:00 p.m. or 6:00 p.m. It is important that your rehearsal starts on time since other parish events are often scheduled before and after rehearsals. We request that everyone in your wedding party attend the rehearsal including parents, readers, offertory gift presenters, grandparents and anyone who will be in the procession.

Please see the wedding costs shown above under Prerequisites.
