Marriage

The Sacrament of Matrimony

The pastoral staff of the Catholic Community of Ascension and St. Augustine extends congratulations and a cordial welcome to you who are planning to consecrate your love for one another in the Sacrament of Matrimony.

Arrangements for the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony at either church should be made with Sharon Zelnosky at (410) 796-1520 at least six months before the wedding and before any other plans are made. Diocesan regulations for the celebration of the Sacrament will be followed in the preparation for each marriage.

Sign up for marriage preparation classes as soon as possible.  Certification of marriage preparation is required for Catholic weddings in all dioceses. 

A Friday evening and Saturday full day: Dress is casual as our team shares their experiences and insights as well as challenges for you to consider as you move toward your life together. We hope you will feel welcome to discuss questions and concerns during this interactive day and take advantage of the opportunities to reflect and talk privately with your fiancé.
