Our Lady of Peace Catholic Parish

Marriage

Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials!

Our Lady of Peace is a wonderful setting to celebrate your Sacrament of Marriage.

Couples must make arrangements at least nine months to one year before your proposed wedding date to allow ample time for Marriage Preparation.

Please contact Deacon Larry Fudacz at 630-323-4333, ext. 20, to make your wedding arrangements.

Marriage Preparation Program

Parishes have the responsibility of preparing their parishioners to receive the Sacrament of Matrimony. Depending upon the specific circumstances of the bride and/or groom (particularly in the case of different religious or faith beliefs and if the wedding is to take place at a non-Catholic church) special instructions, permissions, and dispensations will be needed. Consequently, marriage preparation should begin at approximately one year prior to your wedding.

If your plans include marrying at Our Lady of Peace and you have a wedding date in mind, call the Rectory, 630-323-4333 Ext. 20 and leave a message for Deacon Larry. He will contact you and enter your date in the marriage book. One year prior to your desired date is not too soon to call. It’s important to reserve your church date and time before you schedule your reception.
