Saint Paschal Baylon Church

Couples, called by God to embrace a new life, begin a journey of discovery and sharing with each other.
After their initial contact with a parish priest, couples need to attend a marriage preparation course, to assess their compatibility and discuss the necessary steps of a life together.

This Sacrament is celebrated in Church and requires spiritual preparation by the couple: attendance at Sunday Mass and a prayerful life together are only a few things suggested for the best preparation to their wedding day.

Couples must contact a Parish Priest one year in advance to fulfill all the requirements and have enough time to organize the celebration.

A mixed Marriage (a Catholic person marrying a Christian baptized person) requires a special dispensation from the Archbishop.
A disparity of cult Marriage (a Catholic person marrying a non baptized person) requires a special dispensation, but not a conversion to the Catholic Faith.

A Convalidation is a celebration in Church of a previous Civil Marriage.

For people previously married, the annulment process should be started before entering a new Marriage in Church.
