At St. John Bosco Catholic Church in Hammond, the Sacrament of Marriage celebrates the lifelong covenant between a man and a woman, grounded in Christ’s love. Couples preparing for marriage are guided through a comprehensive marriage preparation process, which includes prayer, formation, and meetings with parish staff to help strengthen their relationship and readiness for the sacrament. Preparation takes at least six months, but nine months is preferable. To begin preparation or get more information about requirements and scheduling, please call the parish office.
