Matrimony

Your desire to have a church wedding indicates that you see your marriage as a commitment made before God, with emphasis on the Christ-centered nature of your relationship. These guidelines are meant to make the planning of your wedding ceremony easier and more enjoyable.

All wedding arrangements for the Co-Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist are the responsibility of the bride and groom.

Please contact the Pastor at least 6 months prior to the date of the wedding. The following preparation is required:

• Pre-marriage weekend

• Completing and discussing a pre-marriage questionnaire

• Obtain Baptism records

For detailed information about weddings at the Co-Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist here is the Principles, Policies, Procedures Manual.
