Marriage

The celebration of this sacrament requires an initial interview and proper preparation. Do not make arrangements for a wedding date, reception, etc. until you have spoken with the priest.
Call the Rectory for an appointment at least six months to a year prior to your wedding date. Couples from other parishes who want to be married at St. Philomena Church should be prepared for marriage by their own parish priest.

Infant Baptism is scheduled generally every other month. Both parents are required to attend preparation classes and liturgies.
