  • There are several steps to marriage preparation. Those who are engaged have already begun the process through courtship and the promise to marry each other. The Catholic Church believes that matrimony is one of the seven sacraments instituted by Jesus Christ. In order to help you continue this preparation, SVdP requires a eight month time of discernment to aid you in assessing your readiness, strengths and weaknesses and personal faith.

    In addition to the Engaged Encounter weekend retreats offered to engaged couples through the Archdiocese, SVdP offers a one and a half day retreat entitled "Married in the Catholic Church." This retreat is offered twice a year, in the Fall and the Spring.  The link to the registration form for the next MICC retreat is shown on this page.

    It is imperative that you contact our wedding coordinator Maria Gibbs at 713-663-3535 or mgibbs@svdp-edu.org, as soon as you have decided to marry.
