Church Requirements

The Catholic Church requires of both parties:

  • To give at least three months' notice of their intention to get married.
  • Recent Baptismal Certificate (within six months of date of Marriage).
  • Confirmation Cert.
  • Proof of Freedom to Marry. Letter(s) of Freedom from any location where you have resided six months or more since you were 18 years of age (an Affidavit in certain circumstances, e.g. mixed faith or disparity of cult).
  • Canonical Dispensations (e.g., if a marriage of mixed religion). If either party has been previously married it is essential that freedom to marry can be established before any marriage arrangements are confirmed.
  • Certificate of Marriage Preparation Course (www.accord.ie).
  • Pre-nuptial Enquiry Form to be completed by the priest of the parish in which you reside. If the parish where you now reside is not the parish where you were baptised or confirmed, it would be helpful if you obtained the certificate of your baptism and confirmation before you approach the priest where you now reside.

Rehearsal: Generally, it is recommended that a couple should arrange a rehearsal in preparation for the wedding ceremony. It would be helpful to have as many people as possible, who are involved in the ceremony, present for the rehearsal.

Cover charge: There is a cover charge of EURO 300 for the use of the church. Payment may be made to St. Mary's Catholic Church No 1 account and forwarded to the Parochial House, St. Mary's Close, Ck on Shannon, Co. Leitrim N41 FE89 or online:

BIC: AIBKIE2D

When paying online, please include your name on the payment. In the event of a couple having to cancel their plans to get married in Kiltoghert Parish, please contact us as soon as possible.

The fee for the priest is EURO 200, which is paid separately. This money can be paid at the Parish Office.

Solemniser: Where both bride and groom come from outside the parish, you are asked to provide your own priest or solemniser where possible (i.e., a priest in good standing who is on the Register of Solemnisers).

Civil Requirements, Republic of Ireland

  • The couple must arrange to meet in person a Civil Registrar at least three months before the wedding to give the required notice of their intention to marry. In advance of meeting the registrar, contact the priest, book the church and know the name of the priest solemniser who has agreed to celebrate the Marriage.
  • Receive the Marriage Registration Form (MRF) from the civil registrar – without this document no Marriage can take place.
  • Show the MRF to the Priest (solemniser to check that the details are correct).
  • Make the verbal declaration of no civil impediment not more than two days before your marriage. In this diocese this declaration is made before the wedding Mass begins.
  • Return the signed Marriage Registration Form (MRF) to any civil registrar no later than one month after the marriage.
