Couples planning to marry in Our Lady of Fatima Church should notify one of the Parish Priests as early as possible, and no less than one year prior to the desired wedding date, so that appropriate assistance in marriage preparation may be provided. Please be sure to arrange a wedding date and time with the priest before making any commitment for your Reception. Visiting priests are welcome to officiate, but you must still contact one of the Parish Priests to officially set the parish date and begin the formal process of preparation.
