What are the requirements for getting married at Holy Family?
  • One member should be a registered and active member of Holy Family Parish for at least six months.
  • When the marriage preparation program is completed.
How much time is needed to prepare for the Sacrament of Marriage?
  • Usually nine months.
When can a wedding date be set?
  • After the couple has completed the initial meeting of the marriage preparation program.
When does the marriage preparation program begin?
  • The program begins with an introductory marriage preparation session. Engaged couples should attend the introductory marriage preparation session with pastoral associate Peggy Petersen as soon as they agree to marry. Contact her at 436-9200, ext. 24.
What is involved in the marriage preparation program?
  • Introductory marriage preparation class or initial consultation with pastoral associate Peggy Petersen.
  • Completion of a pre-marital inventory with evaluation by a psychologist, administered at the first meeting.
  • Meetings with a married couple focusing on issues affecting marriage or participation in an Engaged Encounter weekend.
  • Additional sessions with Fr. Matthew Brumleve.
Is Fr. Brumleve able to perform weddings away from the parish?
  • It is difficult for Fr. Brumleve to leave the parish for weddings. In the event that he can accommodate such a request, the couple must cover the cost for a replacement priest while he is away. This fee must be paid in advance to Holy Family Parish. The estimated cost is $225 for a full weekend. The fee will be prorated if he is required to be away less than a full weekend.
