CHURCH REQUIREMENTS:
| The Catholic Church requires of both
parties: |
| |
| • To give at least three
months notice of their intention to get married. |
| |
| • Recent Baptismal Certificate
(within six months of date of Marriage) |
| |
| • Confirmation Certificate. |
| |
| • Proof of Freedom to Marry. Letter(s)
of Freedom from any location where you have
resided six months or over since you were 18 years of
age (An affidavit will suffice) |
| |
| • Certificate of a Marriage
Preparation Course. (e.g. Accord:
http://www.accord.ie) |
| |
| • Canonical Dispensations (e.g.
if a marriage of mixed religion). If either party has
been previously married it is essential that freedom
to marry can be established before any marriage arrangements
are confirmed. |
| |
| • Pre-nuptial Enquiry Form
to be completed by the priest of the parish in which
you reside. If the parish where you now reside is not
the parish where you were baptised or confirmed, it
would be helpful if you obtained the certificate of
your baptism and confirmation before you approach the
priest where you now reside. |
Rehearsal:
Generally it is recommended that a couple
should arrange a rehearsal in preparation for the wedding
ceremony. It would be helpful to have as many people as
possible, who are involved in the ceremony, present for
the rehearsal.
Cover charge: There
is a cover charge of €300 for the
use of the church. **This applies only when both
the bride and groom come from outside the parish.
Payment should be made to St.Mary’s Church Renovation
Fund and forwarded to the Parochial House, St.Mary’s
Close, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim, at the time of booking
the Church. In the event of a couple having to cancel their
plans to get married in Kiltoghert Parish this cover charge
will be refunded in full.
Solemniser:
Where both bride and groom come from outside the parish,
you are asked to provide your own priest or solemniser where
possible (i.e. a priest in good standing who is on the Register
of Solemnisers).
