Married Outside the Church?

Would you like to have your marriage blessed as a Sacrament?

The priests of St. Francis of Assisi would be happy to help you with this. Some of the steps outlined in the “Matrimony” section may be applicable to the process of preparation for the marriage blessing. Simply contact the church office to set up a time with a priest to discuss the steps necessary to receive the blessing.

Have you or your spouse been married before?

If so, a discussion concerning an annulment for all previous marriages will be included in the initial meeting with the priest. The priest will be very happy to help you with any annulment processes. All previous marriages, whether Catholic or non-Catholic, of either partner, whether Catholic or non-Catholic, will need to obtain an annulment prior to beginning the marriage blessing process.
