"Don't imagine that if you had a great deal of time you would spend more of it in prayer. Get rid of that idea! Again and again God gives more in a moment than in a long period of time, for his actions are not measured by time at all." Teresa of Avila
Sacrament of Marriage at SJC


We are happy to have you celebrate the Sacrament of Marriage at St. John of the Cross.

To be married at St. John of the Cross at least one party must be a parishioner or the son or daughter of a parishioner.

To begin the process of getting married at St. John of the Cross and before a wedding date can be set, you will need to meet with one of our parish priests.

While we suggest that you contact us as far in advance as possible (wedding dates can be set through the next calendar year), you should contact the parish at least six (6) months before your desired wedding date and prior to making any other wedding plans.

To make an appointment with one of our parish priests and to begin making plans to celebrate your wedding at St. John of the Cross, please call our Wedding Secretary, Marilyn Alberts at (708) 246-4404 x122.

Couples will plan music for their wedding celebration with the parish Director of Music Ministries, Jennifer Kerr Budziak (708) 246-4404 x136. You should contact the Director of Music approximately 5-9 months prior to your wedding date to begin planning the music for your wedding liturgy.

Further information on music for your wedding liturgy will be found in "Getting Married at St. John of the Cross" beginning on page 9. The document, "Your Wedding Music" will provide further music information and suggested music repertoire.
