Congratulations on your upcoming Marriage! We look forward to celebrating this Sacrament here at Christ the King Parish! May the graces bestowed through the Sacrament of Marriage strengthen and guide you as you enter into this new phase of your life.
Submit your Marriage Request form no later than 6 months prior to the wedding date. This allows sufficient time for your marriage preparation and to prepare any documentation necessary for Sacramental recordkeeping.
IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE OF READING: In this case, your marriage preparation would be with the new Parish in which you have - or will be - establishing a faith community relationship. Your relationship with your local Parish is unique and purposeful, offering support with the joys/sorrows, encouragements/frustrations, growth/stagnancy, we all experience in life. The Parish is people in relationship with each other, living out their shared faith in Jesus Christ, building up individuals, families, and groups of believers as a collective Body of Christ. May these relationships - with Jesus Christ and with your Parish community - carry you through and support you in your faith as you embark upon Married life.
