Welcome and congratulations on your recent engagement!

Because of the seriousness of the commitment of marriage and its sacramental nature, we want to help you as a couple to enter this period of preparation to receive the sacrament of marriage:

 
You can read the marriage guidelines for more details, but the essentials of this preparation include:

  • Setting a date at least 6 months in advance,

  • Meeting with a priest to complete the ‘freedom to marry’ forms,

  • Six marriage prep classes in the Spring,

  • Working with a mentor couple through the Marriage Preparation process,

  • And learning about natural family planning.

The first step to getting started on this wonderful journey is to contact the wedding coordinator, Danielle Cooper, at worksofmercy@stmichaelportland.org

And reading the Wedding Guidelines will answer many of your questions.
