Matrimony
-
The Sacrament of Marriage is a visible sign of God’s love for the Church. When a man and woman are married in the Church, they receive God’s grace and join in a covenant that binds them together for a lifetime.
Arrangements for a marriage in the church should begin at least six months before the proposed date of the wedding to allow for the requisite preparation time for Catholic marriage.
Due to high volume, our weddings are generally reserved for existing long-term registered parishioners who live in Rye. Please follow the procedures below to inquire about a proposed date:
1. Call the rectory at 914-967-0142 between 10am-4pm, Monday through Friday, to fill out the initial paperwork over the phone with our Rectory Receptionist.
2. Please note that it can take about two weeks to hear back about the possibility of getting married at Resurrection.
3. Initial meeting with a parish priest to finalize date and discuss required paperwork.
4. Attend a Pre-Cana session, please see information below.
5. Attend a Wedding Music Workshop with the parish Music Director, Joe Viserta.
