It is our privilege to help you as a couple to approach the wonderful Sacrament of Matrimony. The focus of “Marriage Preparation” is not centered primarily on planning the wedding ceremony, but rather on preparing, with God’s blessing, to live a lifelong union of love.
We are happy to work with you in completing your Marriage Preparation requirements, whether you choose to marry at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish, or elsewhere. We encourage people to begin planning a year in advance. The Diocese of Dallas has a minimum preparation time of at least six months prior to your proposed wedding date.
Your first step will be to schedule a meeting with one of our priests, or deacons. We will provide you with an “Information Packet”, and try to answer any questions that you have. In some cases we may refer you to Ms. Cecilia Jones, Coordinator of Family Life, and our liaison to the Matrimonial Tribunal of the Diocese of Dallas. To arrange this meeting, please contact Susan Ozowski at 972-595-5505 ext. 4221. If you have any preliminary questions, please feel free to contact us in advance.
