You are encouraged to go through a marriage preparation program at least six-months before your wedding date. This will allow you and your fiancée reflect on the enormous step you are about to take.

Diocesan Requirements
1. The couple needs to call the parish at least six months in advance. We encourage you to call as soon as you are engaged to ensure your wedding date and registration date for marriage preparation.

2. Pre-marital instruction is required. Instructions are also held at the Diocesan Office in Pittsburgh periodically and through a weekend stay at an Engaged Encounter Program. Information on these pre-marital instructions can be obtained by calling the Diocese at 412.456.3160.
