Marriage Preparation & Pre-Cana


Congratulations upon your engagement!  St. Peter’s is pleased to help you as an engaged couple to prepare for the Sacrament of Marriage.

Also, for great information on your engagement, the wedding ceremony, and sharing your faith with each other, click to contact CatholicBrides.com then go to the "Catholic Info" button to access the topics noted above.

Now that you are engaged, here is what you need to do:

1.  Contact Fr. Jason Worley, 301-898-5111 x 19, to schedule your initial meeting to plan for the wedding.  The officiating minister is the first contact even before you begin to book sites for receptions! 

2.  At this initial meeting, please bring:

  • recent copies (within 6 months) of your baptismal certificates, if applicable.  If you are not a member of St. Peter’s parish, please contact the church in which you were baptized to request a recent copy of the certificate.
  • If either you or your fiancé have been previously married, bring a copy of the divorce decree and the annulment decree.*

*Please note that an annulment for a previous marriage, regardless of where the marriage took place, is required before you can marry in the Catholic Church.  This can be a lengthy process, so apply for the annulment a minimum of one year in advance of your plans to marry.

To apply for an annulment, contact our parish advocate, Carolyn Nolan at 301-898-5111 x 14.


3.  If all the requirements for marriage are met, you will then select a date and time for your wedding with Fr. Jason.
