Congratulations on your big day!
Marriage preparation is a meaningful and grace-filled process that helps engaged couples build a strong foundation rooted in their relationship with Christ and with one another. The program typically takes about six - eight months to complete. Our goal is not simply to complete a checklist, but to create intentional space for you to grow closer to each other and to deepen your shared journey of faith.
Who may get married at St. Thomas More?
Those who desire to be married at St. Thomas More need to be registered/active* parishioners. Demonstrate active Sunday Mass attendance of no less than 6 months and maintain active attendance during marriage preparation.

Setting the Date
Should you qualify to have your marriage at St. Thomas More.
Prior to setting your wedding date, call the parish office and speak with Anna Contreras, Marriage Prep Coordinator. The fee structure will be discussed with you, and a non-refundable deposit is required to set your date on the parish calendar.
Dress Attire
In a Catholic wedding ceremony, proper attire for the bride, groom, and bridal party should reflect the solemnity of the sacrament. Modest, respectful clothing is expected so that attention remains on the sacred nature of the ceremony rather than on appearance.
