Weddings

No Longer Two,

But One


Congratulations on your recent engagement!
 


We rejoice with you and pledge to you our prayers and support!


As Catholics, we believe that marriage is a sacred covenant of love in Christ between a man and a woman for the purpose of sustaining a community of life and love and to accept children lovingly from God. Marriage is a sacrament: a visible sign of Christ’s presence which empowers us through His grace.


In the living out of this sacrament, God’s love is made present in our world. Of all the many preparations which you will make over the months prior to your wedding day, none is more significant than your spiritual preparation.


Please make the time to pray together by coming to Mass each week, and, for those who are Catholic, to avail yourselves to the sacramental life of the Church. During our time together, we will discuss not only the details of the wedding, but, more importantly, we will assist you to prepare for your life together as husband and wife in the sacred bond of marriage.

How Do I Schedule A Wedding?

Wedding should be arranged at least six months in advance of your desired date. Use the contact form below or call the parish office at 508-823-9833. Fr. Matt will then reach out to you to schedule a brief introductory meeting.


What Paperwork Is Required?

✓ Each Catholic party is to bring a newly issued copy of their baptism and confirmation certificates dated no sooner than six months prior to the wedding. A baptized person of another Christian denomination is to bring a copy of his/her baptismal certificate. 


✓ A marriage license, issued from a city or town in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, must be obtained approximately one month before the date of the wedding. Please contact the city/town for further information.


✓  If you are not a members of St. Ann's Parish, you will be asked to provide a letter from your local parish priest granting permission for your marriage to take place here.


✓  An inter-denominational or inter-faith marriage requires a few additional forms.
