Looking for the Holy Sacrament of

Matrimony

Are you getting married? Blessed Sacrament Church will help you prepare for this beautiful sacrament, so that our Lord Jesus might strengthen, protect, and nourish you as you begin your new family. 

Preparing for Marriage

Additional Information

The Sacrament of Matrimony should be a very sacred and blessed event. To honor this reality, the Church has certain laws and guidelines a couple must follow in order to prepare for the Sacrament of Matrimony. 


The process of preparation should begin at least six months in advance to the desired wedding date. 


The Diocese of Rapid City requires the following components: the FOCCUS (Facilitating Open Couple Communication, Understanding, and Study) inventory, the Heart to Heart Retreat, Natural Family Planning Seminar, and basic instruction from the priest and a marriage preparation couple.
