The contact must be at least one year in advance of the proposed marriage date in order to fulfill all the necessary instruction and requirements mandated by Church and Diocesan law. Please make plans with the Church prior to scheduling a reception.

Contact must be initiated by the groom or bride and not any other family member. No discussion of the possibility of marriage can take place with anyone other than the groom or bride who are to be married. All conversation after the initial contact must be in person and not over the telephone.
