Marriage

The Sacrament of Marriage is an important milestone in the lives of most people. The bishops of the State of Wisconsin developed a Common Policy to aid priests and other pastoral ministers in preparing couples for marriage. A copy of the main points and an outline of the procedure is available upon request from the Parish Office. This policy states that there must be AT LEAST a six month period between the initial interview (the first visit of the couple planning marriage with the priest) and their chosen wedding date. Therefore, couples are encouraged to register for marriage as soon as possible. Registrations made eighteen months to two years in advance are not uncommon.

At least one person must be a registered and practicing member of St. Matthias Parish. Special consideration will be given to those whose parents are members of St. Matthias.
