    For Engaged Couples

     

    1. Check Off Lists
         
    To track a couple’s progress in their marriage preparation, several options are presented here.  If you
           think this will help you, just select one of the options shown in outline to the left that best fits your
           situation.  
       

         Short Check Off List

         For Priests and Deacons who have officiated at many weddings, a “Short Checkoff List,” may be all that
         you need as you prepare your couple.

            Couples Guide

         Some Clergy like to use The Couples Guide. It  comes from the “Diocese of Biloxi Marriage
         Preparation Policy,” effective 1 January 2020.   The Couple Guide lists the steps engaged couples can
          expect during their marriage preparation in an easily tracked chronological order.  Spaces are
         included so dates can be easily recorded as each step is completed.      

     

             Step-by-Step Check Off List

         The “Step-by-Step” guide includes web links, roadmaps and other information intended to help clergy
         who are “first timers” and for those who only occasionally officiate at weddings.
