In preparing for your wedding in St. Pappin's Parish churches, it is essential that your first point of contact will be the Parish Office.
The Parish Secretary will inform you of what is required by Church and State and arrange for one of the priests to contact you.
The Church requires each couple to complete a Pre-Marriage course. ACCORD is the main diocesan approved provider of Marriage courses and support in living out the gift of marriage in an often-challenging world. There are several other agencies providing similar courses.
​
The priest will assist the couple in the filling out of the Pre-Nuptial Enquiry Forms (Marriage Papers). Baptism and Confirmation certificates issued
within six months of the marriage will be basic requirements. If a couple have lived in a different parish after they have reached 18 they will be required to have either a letter of freedom or Statement of Freedom to marry.
​
The Family Law Act requires a couple to give a minimum of three months’ notice to the Registrar of Marriages, Lombard Street, Dublin 2
