Either the bride or groom must be registered in a parish, a practicing Catholic and actively worshiping and involved at a church. Before scheduling a wedding, the interested couple will need approval from Fr. Benny Chacko, Administrator of Sts. Mary and John Parish and their pastor of the parish they attend.

The rental fee for the church is $850; There is a deposit of $250 required to hold the date requested. This deposit will go towards the church rental fee. This includes the fee for the Sacristan.
