Marriage Preparation
Congratulations and welcome
If you are planning to be married in the Catholic Church, we are pleased to accompany you.
The Sacrament of Matrimony is a special and joyful event for couples and for the Church as you begin your married life in union with Jesus Christ and our community of faith. We are pleased if you have chosen to celebrate your wedding at St. Anthony the Abbot Catholic Church.
Our pastor is eager to help you prepare for your wedding Mass or ceremony. We welcome the opportunity to meet with you, answer questions, and help you plan your Catholic wedding. Planning a wedding can be a hectic time, and we are happy to be with you along the way.

Begin with the parish office
To begin your wedding plans, please contact Karen at the parish office at 352-796-2096 ext. 102. She will arrange for you to meet with the pastor and begin your preparation.
We recommend beginning at least six months before your wedding date, in accordance with the policy of the Diocese of St. Petersburg, to allow adequate time for preparation. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require other arrangements.
May God bless you. We look forward to sharing this special time with you.
