In preparation for the Sacrament of Marriage a couple needs to contact Jen in the Parish Office at least 6 months prior to the desired date of Marriage to confirm the date is available.
Please contact Jen in the parish office with additional questions. (319) 837-6808 or [email protected]
Marriage is a sacrament and is indissoluble. Once married a couple is married until one person has died. Divorce does not dissolve a marriage.
However, their are certain marriages that are invalid from the start. The Annulment process is a judicial process to allow people who believe that their marriage was invalid to attempt to prove that fact. In an attempt to improve this process Pope Francis issued a document revising the marriage nullity process. If you have questions about this process you can view or print the Davenport Diocese FAQ or you may contact Father Dan Dorau
