Baptism Preparation

First, see the priest. come with a copy of certificate of birth of the child. One of the parents must be catholic. A date will given to you(Parents) and Godparents for a Baptismal instruction at St Peter's church. All must attend. 

Can I choose anyone to be a godparent? 

NO. Not just anyone. A Godparent must be a  good practicing catholic, and must be model of how to live the Christian life. if he or she does not attend our community , they must show some recent evidence of where they attend Church.

Unbaptized children older than 7 years old? talk to the Priest 

Marriage Preparation

This is Marriage the Catholic way. First things: A recent Baptism record is necessary, certifying that sacraments of baptism,First communion and confirmation have been received before matrimony. Pre-nuptial forms have to be filled out. NO DATE is put down until the priest has assessed that the engaged couple is sufficiently prepared .

A Pre-martial inventory is taken. it helps to discuss your relationship.

Liturgical preparations for the wedding ceremony itself are made. A wedding rehearsal (usually the evening before the wedding).

A Marriage License must also be submitted  before. ( Ask Priest details). This whole process takes usually 6-9 months.
