If you have any questions or concerns regarding this information, please discuss them with the Parish Wedding Coordinator assigned to you. We hope the information will be of benefit to you and to your families. The celebration of marriage at Our Lady Queen of Peace should be a prayerful, exciting, and spirit-filled experience for all involved. We, as a pastoral staff and community of faith, will do our best to provide all we can to fulfill your hopes and dreams, not only of the day, but also in your life together as a married couple.  \nGENERAL INFORMATION  \n1. WHAT ARE THE TIMES THAT A WEDDING MAY BE SCHEDULED?  \nWeddings may be scheduled on Saturdays at 12pm or 2pm. No Saturday evening weddings are possible because of the regular Mass schedule. Weddings may be scheduled on other days if approved by the presider and wedding coordinator and when they do not conflict with previous or regular scheduling of the church. Weddings are not scheduled on Sundays and Holy Days.  \n2. HOW DO YOU SELECT A PRIEST FOR YOUR WEDDING?  \nBecause we are a parish family, the usual procedure is to select a priest from our parish topreside at your wedding. Any priest related to either the bride or groom may preside. Any friend who is a priest in good standing may be invited to concelebrate and can preach at your wedding at Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish. If a priest relative from outside the parish is selected, his name, address, and phone number should be listed along with other information in our scheduling book. The Pastor must always give delegation to any visiting priest.  \n3. DO YOU NEED TO HAVE A MASS?  \nIt is encouraged to celebrate the wedding with the Mass when both parties are practicing Catholics. When a Catholic marries a non-Catholic it is recommended that Mass not be celebrated.  \n4. WHAT TYPE OF PREPARATION FOR MARRIAGE IS REQUIRED?  \nThe Diocese requires that couples participate in the FOCCUS Inventory (Facilitating Open Couple Communication, Understanding and Study), which is conducted by married couples from our parish that are assigned to you. In addition, couples are asked to enroll in a marriage prep course and may choose from two options: a Marriage Prep Retreat Weekend or online [formation with CatholicMarriagePrep.com. Couples](formation with CatholicMarriagePrep.com. Couples) can enroll through the website at [madisondiocese.org/mp](madisondiocese.org/mp).  \n5. DO WE HAVE TO DO ALL THE PREPARATIONS AT OUR LADY QUEEN OF PEACE PARISH?  \nAs a norm, couples will follow the format as described. At the discretion of the priest, adaptations may be made. If a couple lives in another community, for example, some of the preparation may be completed through another priest or parish. All exceptions should be discussed with the priest.  \n6. HOW AND WHEN DO YOU SCHEDULE A WEDDING REHEARSAL?  \nThe wedding rehearsal is scheduled as soon as possible by calling the Parish Center office (608- 231-4600). Rehearsals are usually held on Friday evenings. The rehearsal will last no more than one hour. The times available for rehearsals are 4:00 PM, 5:00 PM, 6:00 PM, and 7:00 PM. These times will be assigned on a first requested, first served basis. The wedding coordinator will run the rehearsal, with the Presider being on-hand to go through the vows with you.  \n7. WHAT ARE THE PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING PERMISSION FOR A CATHOLIC TO MARRY A NON-CATHOLIC?  \nThere is a formal procedure to obtain a dispensation for permission for a Catholic to marry anon-Catholic. The priest handling the ceremony will do the necessary paperwork. The Catholic party is asked to give assurance that he/she will continue to live as a Catholic and that he/she will do all that is possible to baptize and raise the children Catholic.
