Congratulations!  So you are getting married.  We are happy that you decided to celebrate your marriage in our Catholic Community of St. Clement.

As with any sacrament, a period of prayer and preparation is required. Please contact the parish office at (813) 752-8251 at   least six months before the date that you would like to get married to set-up an appoinment with the priest (do not set a   definite date for your wedding until you have consulted with the priest.  This is very important and should be observed in  order to avoid any inconvenience).

A requirement of both the Diocese of St. Petersburg and St. Clement Parish is your participation in a designated program of preparation for the sacrament.

 

             This preparation includes:

• An initial interview with one of our parish priests.
• Taking the FOCCUS survey.  The survey assists you in knowing each other better and offers valuable insight into your relationship.
• Subsequent interviews with the priest to include further discussions regarding the Catholic understanding of Marriage,

       and the scheduling and planning of the ceremony.
