Contact your local parish or Diocesan Office of Bishop for a schedule. (Diocese of Rochester 585-328-3210) Try to schedule your workshop several months in advance in order to find a convenient time and place,

8. Meeting with Priest:
Plan on a meeting one or two months before to discuss the wedding ceremony and to fill out papers. Bring documents you have. The Rochester Diocese asks that you meet with the Priest and do a FOCCUS preparation survey for couples about to marry.
