Weddings

Weddings are always in season at St. Gerald!  

Congratulations on your engagement! Because Christian marriage is a sacrament, the Catholic Church wants couples to be well-prepared. St. Gerald offer marriage preparation to help couples develop a better understanding of the sacrament; to evaluate and deepen their readiness to live married life, and to gain insights into themselves as individuals and as a couple.

The important thing for engaged couples to keep in mind as they check numerous items off their pre-wedding "to-do" list is the well-known adage, "Your wedding lasts a day, but your marriage lasts a lifetime." The Church encourages couples to invest time and energy into the all-important work of preparing for their married life together.

For couples planning to marry at St. Gerald, weddings should be scheduled at least six months in advance of your hopefull wedding date. Please contact the Wedding Coordinator at 708-422-0234 ext. 124, to discuss wedding dates and the marriage preparation process
