Dear Engaged Couple,

Congratulations on your engagement! We know that this is such a joyful time for you and your family and friends. It can also be a hectic time filled with plans and arrangements, reservations and appointments.

Please keep in mind that while you have much to do in order to plan the wedding day, you also will be preparing for more than just the wedding ceremony and festivities. You will be preparing to begin a lifelong vocation as a married couple!

To assist you in this great journey, please read through our wedding policies (found below) at St. Gall Catholic Church. 
We have written these guidelines and present them to you so that there are no surprises as to the policies and practices of St. Gall parish, the Diocese of Rockford and the Catholic Church, in general. They have been drawn up so that the sacred ceremonies that celebrate your upcoming marriage might proceed smoothly and with dignity.

​Please read through these policies carefully and in their entirety and share this information with those who will participate in your wedding.

Fr. DiTomo, Pastor, St. Gall Catholic Church
