Holy Matrimony
Congratulations on your engagement! We look forward to accompanying you on this journey. Please arrange to meet at least six to eight months prior to your wedding with the priest or deacon whom you wish to officiate your wedding. With his initial interview, the office can begin reserving a wedding date. Please call the Parish Office at 985-785-8585 for more information, and to schedule an initial appointment with Fr. Vincent if you would like him to officiate.
In addition to meetings with the priest officiant and some necessary paperwork, Marriage Preparation at Holy Family ordinarily follows a form of “in-home marriage prep” with an experienced mentor couple.
