MARRIAGE
“A man shall leave his father and mother
and be joined to his wife,
and the two shall become one flesh,
so they are no longer two but one flesh."
- Mark 10:7-8
Couples wanting to get married at Risen Christ should read the Archdiocese of Denver requirements first, and contact us at least 8 months prior to their wedding to discuss marriage preparation. An initial meeting will be scheduled to discuss the marriage preparation process in more detail.

THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY
A Nuptial Mass is the usual form for the celebration of the Sacrament of Matrimony between two Catholics.
A marriage between a Catholic and a baptized Christian is usually celebrated outside of Mass.
A marriage between a Catholic and an unbaptized person is always celebrated outside of Mass.
