how much is the donation? do they require counseling?

Theres no 'pre cana' really. We met with the priest once for like 2 hours just to talk about our relationship. Thats all they require.

As for the donation...theres no 'donation' per say....its really a set amount that is required as a fee. Its like $250 for clergy, ummm $500 for the church fee, i think $150 for the organist. They dont have any rules about aisle runners or unity candles either. Its a lot of money, but to be honest, almost all churches are a lot of money these days.

HTH! Feel free to FM me fo rmore info

I think the main question you need to ask yourself is if you want the marriage to be recognized as a Sacrament for you, the Catholic. If you do, you need to get married in a CATHOLIC church. you have to attend Pre-Cana and talk with the priest about a dispensation (all inter-faith couples fill this out... it's no big deal).

The only problem I think you'll run into is that sometimes it is hard for a Catholic that is not a member of a parish to find a church that will marry them.... basically, most Catholic churches give priority to dates to parishoners (families and or couples that actually attend said church).

however, I would call the Diocese of Rockville Centre www.drvc.org. they will hook you up with a parish that will marry non-parishoners.

HTH......
