Marriage

The Catholic Church holds marriage in the highest regard. By living out their sacrament, married couples enrich the Church and the world. This is no easy task and it requires total commitment. For this reason the Church insists that couples enter into a preparation process that will make available to them the tools needed to begin their life together.

Marriage Preparation begins six months in advance. Couples wishing to be married here at St Joseph first meet with Fr. soler.

Engaged couples are also expected to participate in an Engaged Encounter weekend. Dates and other info is available at weekend.eespokane.org.
