Matrimony
United in Christ: Celebrating the Sacrament of Matrimony
-
To be eligible for marriage at Christ the King, at least one of the parties must be a registered parishioner. Both individuals must be free to marry, meaning they have not been married previously in the Catholic Church or have received an annulment.
-
Couples must complete a marriage preparation program, which includes meetings with a priest or deacon, a marriage inventory, and an in-person marriage preparation course or retreat.
Couples should begin this process at least six months before their desired wedding date.
-
Required documents typically include a baptismal certificate (if not already on file), a marriage preparation inventory, and proof of a valid marriage license from the county. Additional documents may be required depending on the couple’s specific situation.

Matrimony is a sacred sacrament through which a man and woman are united in love and commitment, reflecting the deep and lasting bond between Christ and the Church.
Christ the King celebrates Holy Matrimony as a joyous occasion, where couples embark on a journey of faith, love, and partnership. Through this sacrament, couples receive the grace to grow together in holiness, strengthen their relationship, and build a family centered on God’s love.
