Marriage

Congratulations on your engagement! We’re happy that you are looking to the University Catholic Center to help you prepare for marriage.
Marriage is the spiritual sign of the union of Christ and his Church and a gift from God, to be taken seriously and grounded in faith. The vocation of married life is a beautiful and challenging one that deserves prayerful discernment and committed preparation.
At the University Catholic Center, marriage preparation is designed to:
- help you grow in the Catholic understanding of marriage
- help you know each other in a deeper way
- give you the tools to live your marital love and form your family according to God’s plan.
We provide marriage preparation for our students, faculty and staff, alumni, and Resident Community members. Couples may also receive marriage preparation elsewhere and celebrate their wedding at the University Catholic Center, through arrangement with both places.

Please do not set a date until you have met with one of the priests. This meeting should take place no later than six months prior to your proposed date of marriage.
How to get started?
The first step is to submit the Marriage Intake Form , and we will contact you regarding the remaining steps.
