The Sacrament of Marriage is a beautiful covenant and mystery, strengthened by God’s love. God intended the relationship between a man and woman in marriage to mirror the love between Christ and His Church. Because of the sacredness of this union between husband and wife, Christ provided the Church with many graces that flow from the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony, as a means of assisting husbands and wives to love each other with a deep and holy love.
Marriage Preparation: We encourage you to call us for an initial appointment at least six months prior to the date you wish to marry. Basic Marriage Inquiry paperwork will include the completion of paperwork by both parties, your parents or other qualified witnesses, and reprints of your baptismal certificates for all Catholic parties (other paperwork may be required, based on your situation). The basic Marriage Preparation process will include meeting with one of our priests and completion of Pre-Cana classes. The Marriage Preparation process should be completed in the six (6) months prior to the wedding date.
