Engaged couples planning a Catholic wedding should contact the parish priest at least six months prior to the desired wedding date. Either the bride or the groom need to be a registered member of the parish.
Marriage prep consists of meeting with pastor and attending a Pre-Marriage Workshop (required by the Diocese of Detroit).
A Pre-Marriage Workshop is held here at Mount Carmel twice a year (Spring & Fall). The workshop is designed to cover topics you will encounter beyond your wedding, such as personal communication, spirituality, sexuality, just to name a few. The workshop is lead by a team of married couples who offer years of expertise and experience.
