Marriage Ministry
Marriage Prep and Scheduling
Marriage preparation is an important process and should be started as soon as possible upon engagement. Weddings are not normally scheduled during Lent. Weddings held at St. John Church are for registered parishioners only. A bride, groom or their parents need to be a registered parishioner for at least 6 months prior to scheduling a date. St. Francis Xavier, St. Louis and St. Peter in Chains Cathedral are a few places in the Archdiocese that don’t require one to be a registered member of their parish. If you elect to be married elsewhere, we are happy to provide the marriage preparation needed. Also, if you have a prior marriage and are in need of annulment, please feel free to call us. Contact Fr. Don West at dwest@stjohnwc.org or 777-6433 for further information.
