Marriage Preparation

Congratulations on your engagement! We are here to help you get married in the Church and to make the process as fruitful as possible.



The marriage preparation process in the Diocese of Phoenix lasts approximately nine months. Call the office and schedule a meeting before setting your wedding date! Visit the Phoenix Diocese’s marriage preparation website to better understand the process.



Thru marriage, the couple reflects the love between Christ and his Church. One of the nuptial blessings in the liturgical celebration of marriage refers to this by saying: Father, you have made the union of a man and a woman such a sacred mystery that it symbolizes the marriage of Christ and his Church.
