Sacrament of Matrimony
 

To assist couples in their preparation for Christian marriage, the priest must be notified six months before the ceremony. Couples considering marriage should contact the rectory to make an appointment with a priest and to set the date for the wedding.
 
Pre-Cana (Pre-Marital) Program or Engagement Encounter: The Church earnestly desires to assist engaged couples in strengthening their relationship. This is usually accomplished by learning about and discussing topics which promote a lasting commitment. The program covers communication skills, decision making on the use of time and money, lifestyle adjustments, and spirituality.
 
St. Andrew Parish provides a one-day Pre-Cana program ($100 per couple) in the spring and fall each year. Space is limited and reservations are required.
