I'm Getting Married

Congratulations on your engagement!

The first step in planning your wedding at St. Hubert is to call the parish office at 847-885-7700  to set your wedding date. 

NOTE: Please do not reserve your banquet hall before confirming the date with the church.

After setting your wedding date, you will be contacted by one of our deacons to arrange your first appointment. This deacon will walk with you throughout the marriage preparation process and answer any questions you may have along the way. After this first interview, you will need to begin taking steps to complete the following preparation well in advance of your wedding date.

FOCCUS Premarital Inventory

FOCCUS is a premarital inventory and follow-up session that measures your communication strengths and areas where you may need to grow. It should be completed as soon as possible after your appointment with a deacon.

A few days after you have registered you will receive an email with a link to begin taking the inventory. After finishing the FOCCUS inventory online, you will be contacted by a St. Hubert FOCCUS facilitator to arrange a time to get together for discussion.

Marriage Preparation Program

St. Hubert Parish Marriage Preparation Program is offered a few times a year, see upcoming events for dates. We are able to offer it at a much lower cost than any other program because it is right at our own parish. It is a one day program on a Saturday.

If you cannot make the dates of the St. Hubert Marriage Preparation Program, the following programs could fulfill the Marriage Preparation Program requirement.

• Pre-Cana or Discovery Weekend (Archdiocese of Chicago/Family Ministries Office) - offered various dates and locations throughout the Archdiocese. Can register online or by calling. You may also look into Natural Family Planning Classes on this website. Register early, since dates sometimes do fill up.  
• Engaged Encounter Weekend is another program that would be an acceptable alternative.

For the best benefit, complete your marriage preparation program several months before your wedding date.
