    • The Marriage Prep Process

      Are you looking to get married at St. Mary or St. Cecilia?

      Your first step before anything else (including booking your reception venue) should be to contact us to schedule your wedding date. In order to secure a wedding date, couples must currently be engaged to be married. Please also note that there are certain weekends or liturgical seasons where weddings will not be scheduled. To schedule your wedding date at any of our locations (St. Cecilia, St. Mary, Oratory of St. John Vianney), please contact Haley Wolfe at hwolfe@eastsideregion.org.

      After scheduling your wedding date, signing your contract, and submitting your payment, Marta Misleh (St. Cecilia's Wedding Coordinator) or Laura Nickol (St. Mary's Wedding Coordinator) will continue to follow up with you regarding next steps. These will include the following, which are explained in greater detail in the tabs to your left:

      1) Meetings with Priest/Deacon 

      2) Complete M1/M2/MB Form 

      3) FOCCUS Pre-Marriage Inventory 

      4) Pre-Cana Retreat

      5) Natural Family Planning Classes

      Are you a parishioner looking to do your marriage preparations with the Eastside Family but are getting married elsewhere?
       

      Although you will be married elsewhere, your preparation requirements will be the same as couples who are marrying within the parish family (these are listed above and on the left). Please note that while you will not pay a deposit for reserving the church, there will be a $250 fee to cover the costs of your preparation.

      Are you already married but looking to have your marriage convalidated in the Catholic Church?

      If you have been married civilly but desire or need to have your marriage convalidated (i.e. to be a godparent who is in good standing, etc.), please speak with Haley Wolfe (hwolfe@eastsideregion.org)  for more information.

    Meeting with a Priest
    • 1) Meetings with Priest/Deacon 

      2) Complete M1/M2/MB Form (as needed) (Set up through St. Cecilia)

      3) FOCCUS Pre-Marriage Inventory (Set up through St. Cecilia)


       

    Pre-Cana Retreats
    • Pre-Cana Retreats

      Pre-Cana Retreats are designed to create time and space for you and your fiance to withdraw from the busy days of work, wedding planning, and your bustling social calendar and to actively reflect on the beautiful commitment that you are about to make to one another. With a variety of options that last either a day or a weekend, you will experience meaningful talks given by other Catholic spouses, valuable one-on-one discussions, and transformative time for prayer and the sacraments. Explore the options below and select the one that fits your needs and interests best!

      • Genesis Retreat (Archdiocese of Cincinnati: Marriage and Family Life Office)
      • Engaged Encounter (Cincinnati-Covington Catholic Engaged Encounter)
      • Three to Get Married (Regnum Christi Ohio Valley)

      *A note that Pre-Cana Retreats fill up quickly - so be proactive! You will need to provide a certificate to satisfy your marriage preparation requirements. 
    NFP Courses
    • Natural Family Planning

      What is Natural Family Planning? Is it just Catholic-approved birth control? Is it pseudoscience? Is it effective?

      The modern world has a lot of myths about NFP, so it's not unreasonable to ask these questions. In short, Natural Family Planning

      • Enables couples to work in accordance with God's natural design to experience the fullness of the unitive and procreative elements of the marital act. Contrary to birth control, NFP allows them to make a total gift of self which is always open to life but also encourages reflection and the exercise of self-mastery in situations where conceiving a child may not be seemingly prudent.
      • Is a school of methods that are scientifically based, teaching couples to recognize natural signs of fertility and infertility. Many methods specifically require a licensed health practitioner to be the instructor!
      • Has a 98-99% effectiveness of delaying pregnancy when practiced correctly. NFP has also been helpful to some couples who stuggle with infertility in determining irregularities that be addressed by their physician.
      • Promotes greater unity and communication between spouses, as fertility is seen as a shared gift and responsibility.

      Choose ONE of the NFP methods listed below:

      • Sympto-Thermal Method, aka "STM" (Couple to Couple League)
      • The Creighton Method (Creighton Fertility Care)
      • The Billings Method (Billings Ovulation Method Association)
      • The Cross-Check Method, aka "STM" (NFP International, Inc.)
      • Marquette Method (Marquette University College of Nursing - NFP)

      *A reminder that NFP Classes fill up quickly - so be proactive! You will need to provide a certificate to satisfy your marriage preparation requirements. 

       
    Planning the Liturgy
    • Planning the liturgy

      The sacrament of marriage is the greatest sign here on Earth of the love Christ has for His Bride, the Church. Consequently, your Wedding will not only be an opportunity for your loved ones to share in your joy and marital bliss but to have an encounter with the Divine Bridegroom in the Ceremony or Mass. Our team want to ensure that this twofold experience is as beautifully transcendent and moving as possible, and you will work with us to ensure this is so.
