Congratulations upon your upcoming nuptials!

When we receive this form, we will be better able to serve you. To reiterate, we officiate at a wedding when asked. We have no precondition save the couple's stated intention to enter into a committed relationship according to the vows they elect to make with each other before God (as couple so envisions) and in the presence of the Church which is the couple's community of family and friends.

We also solemnize vows for those wishing a spiritual context (nondenominational, for example), albeit not necessarily Catholic. (For an expanded explanation of our offering, please refer to Wedding Services.)

If you wish to engender a sense of on-line spiritual fellowship and community by affiliation with The Benedictine Network, then please also complete a Network Affiliation Form, if you have not already done so.

As a final note, BEFORE submitting this form, please have a working (accurate) e-mail address, a definite wedding Date, Time and Location. We are not able to accommodate requests unless we have this information. Please also note that date, time, location changes made after we confirm may logistically jeopardize our ability to honor your request.

Thank you.

May Peace and Joy be to you and yours now and forevermore.
