Congratulations on your engagement!
May God bless you and assist you to love each other as Jesus loves his bride, the Church.

If you desire your Catholic marriage to be celebrated at St Bernard’s Catholic Church, please contact the parish office to arrange a meeting with our parish priest.

When meeting with our parish priest, he can help you through all the requirements to prepare for your wedding

You will be asked to produce:

• Baptism Certificates – at least one party must be baptised Catholic.
• Birth Certificates
• Freedom to Marry form from the Parish of your residence

Our Parish Priest will also lead you through marriage preparation course requirements.

Please note that music must be suitable for the church ceremony in a sacred building. St Bernard’s choir loft is equipped with an organ and we recommend using musicians for your ceremony.

It is also customary to make a donation to the priest. A suggestion would be $300.
