Sacrament of Marriage
It is necessary to contact the pastor as soon as couple makes a
decision to marry and at least 4 - 6 months prior to the anticipated time
of their wedding in order to provide time sufficient for the preparation
required for marriage in the Catholic Church by all dioceses in the State
of Wisconsin. In order to be married at St. Peter's Parish, at least the
bride or groom must be presently a registered, active member of the parish
community. Weddings may also take place in instances where the bride or
groom no longer live in the area yet desire to be married in their former
parish, but only with the written permission of their present pastor
attesting to their status as active practicing Catholics at his parish.
The Common Policy for Marriage Preparation has three steps:
1. Assessment, including determination of canonical freedom to marry and involving the administration of the FOCCUS, a tool for helping a couple assess and deepen their relationship, with the assistance of trained volunteer couples;
2. Instruction, involving a couple's participation at an Archdiocesan Enrichment Program for the Engaged and a conference with the pastor, and, finally;
3. Liturgical, involving planning of the wedding ceremony. Guidelines with full details are available from the pastor.
