Marriage Preparation at Gesu

We can help you prepare for this sacrament whether you are marrying at Gesu, or not. However, we can only help those that live within the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. That means you can only do marriage prep at Gesu if you live in one of the following counties: Dodge, Fond du Lac, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Walworth, Washington, or Waukesha. 

If you live outside of one of these counties you will have to do marriage preparation with your own parish, but you are still welcome to marry at Gesu as long as you are a Marquette Alumni/a, Marquette Student, or Marquette Employee.

There are four main elements to your marraige preparation process here: 

1. Completing your Marriage File Folder
2. Meeting with a FOCCUS couple
3. Attending the Milwaukee Archdiocese Marriage Preparation Retreat
