Marriage

Arranging your wedding may seem a huge undertaking, however, it is very straight forward, particularly with regard to the Church.  You should allow plenty of time to make your arrangements. It is best to book the Church as early as possible. Please contact the Parish Office.

If you are intending to marry in the Republic of Ireland you must give 3 months notice (90 days) to the registrar of the District in which the marriage ceremony is to take place.

Following registration you will receive a Notification of Intention to Marry Certificate, a copy of which you must give to the priest responsible for your wedding papers.

Catholic partners are required to produce a recent Certificate of Baptism (dated within six months of the wedding). You will also need a Certificate of Confirmation. You may also need a Letter of Freedom if you are marrying outside your own Parish.

You will need to book your pre-marriage course and it is advisable not to leave this until the last minute.

Your next step will be to arrange to meet your local priest to have your Pre-Nuptial Enquiry Forms completed. All documents are sent to the Church where the wedding is to take place.

Your priest will answer any questions you may have.
