Help! Roman Catholic Weddings?

There is a one day Pre Cana course and a 3 day Pre Cana Course. I took the one day and I have to tell you it was not that great, but it is a requirement. Talk to the Priest that is marrying you, he will give you the options for your diocese. It isn't too late, they have those classes all year long.

If you are becoming a Catholic to get married in the church RCIA class registration and start up was in September like school. So you might be late for that. But again talk to the priest there is always something that can be done.

Oh great! Congratulations!!! :-)

edit-- I think there is some confusion, the church you are marrying in, must be made aware 6 months in advance of your plans so the bands of marriage can be announced and all but the Pre-Cana class is only a day or 3 depending on where and when you chose to go. Just talk to the Priest that will be Marrying you and again Congratulations!

Pray the Rosary and receive the Sacraments for the glory of Christ our Lord.

The usual time for preparation is 6 months. Ask yourself why you want to be married in Sacrament, however?

If it is based upon human tradition, then possibly you should try another more pleasing environment...

If it is based upon allowing God to manifest His Love in ALL aspects of your married relations, then seek the Lord while He still may be found.

God wants ALL of you. Every action, purpose, thought and human cell of you and your spouse. Are you ready to give to the Lord your entire being even above the love of your spouse?

Do not rush this Sacrament of Matrimony...investigate the possibilities, the ancient Covenant that you are entering with the Creator of the Universe.

In my Church it was six months, so you should be ok as long as you get with the pastor pronto. I didn't much care for the classes when we were taking them but am exceedingly glad that we did. That was more than 20 years ago and our marriage, thank th Lord, is still going strong. The classes weren't just religious. They dealt with a lot of tough practical questions that nobody really wants to ask themselves. Good luck with the classes and may God bless your marriage.

Most dioceses require that the Church be notified of a couple's intent to wed at least six months in advance, so talk to your priest as soon as possible!

In the parish I attend, the marriage prep is one year.

I agree with those who recommend that you contact your pastor as soon as possible.

I see that it must vary from parish to parish, or maybe diocese to diocese. In my parish it is also 6 mos. Pax Christi
