Congratulations on your upcoming Sacramental Marriage in the Catholic Church! 

We are delighted that you are preparing for the Sacrament of Matrimony with us. It is our hope and prayer that through your journey of preparation, you will acquire a deeper understanding of God’s plan for your marriage, and you will learn truths and skills to help you live out your new vocation.
 
When a couple in a sacramental marriage keeps their vows, others are a witness to that love and commitment.  The love you share will bring God’s presence into the world. Through your marriage, you will represent the very relationship between Christ and His Church. What an honor and a blessing!
 
Preparation of marriage is a mutual process of responsibility.  Both of you are required to fulfill different steps of the requirements of the Church in order to help you to have a long-lasting marriage. 
 

Time Frame needed to complete requirements:

• Marriage in the Diocese of Austin: six to nine months before the wedding date 
• Marriage outside the Diocese of Austin: Nine months to one year before the wedding date
