Marriage Information
Congratulations on your engagement! If you would like to be married here at St. Rose of Lima, please download this fillable form, complete it, save it as “Wedding Registration Form (insert your last names)”, then email it back to either mariap@srolchurch.org or cathyw@srolchurch.org.
Once received, you will be contacted with further instructions regarding scheduling an appointment to meet with a priest or deacon. No date for a wedding will be set by phone. Couples must make arrangements in person at least six months in advance. Arrangements can be made only after all consultations are complete. It is recommended that you set your date with the church before you contract with a caterer.
Our Ministry to Engaged Couples includes:
