Please read this very important Christ the King General Policy on Marriage Preparation and the Celebration of the Sacrament of Matrimony available HERE (opens a PDF).
In order to help you best prepare to live out your vocation of Marriage, the Diocese of Bismarck has certain requirements and timeline to help you prepare to be best spouse you can be.
Before scheduling your wedding, if either party (Catholic or non-Catholic) has a prior attempt at marriage which has not been dissolved through death or received a Document of Freedom to Marry, please contact the Tribunal Office at the Diocese of Bismarck, 701-204-7203, before contacting the parish.
