General Information

(See information specific to weddings at St. James and weddings at St. Peter's in their respective tabs)

Marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman for life. If you are a registered, active member of the parish considering this vocation, you must meet with Ana Boné at least six months before your desired wedding date. No date will be set prior to that meeting. To begin this process, call Ana Boné at the parish office at 304-725-5558 ext 223.

Watch the video Saying I do… What Happens at a Catholic Wedding for additional information about Catholic Marriage.

We celebrate weddings at the Parish of Saint James as well as at the Chapel of Saint Peter in Harpers Ferry.

Engaged Couples who are Parishioners of Saint James:  Please contact the Marriage and Family Life Office by calling the parish office.
