The Sacrament of Marriage is a sacred covenant in which a man and a woman unite their lives in faithful love before God and the Church. In this sacrament, the couple commits themselves to a lifelong partnership of love and mutual support, open to the gift of children and centered on Christ. Through the grace of the sacrament, husband and wife are strengthened to live their vocation of marriage with fidelity, generosity, and self-giving love. Couples planning to be married at the parish are asked to contact the parish well in advance of their desired wedding date so that appropriate preparation and guidance can be provided.
Couples planning to celebrate the Sacrament of Marriage at the parish are asked to contact the parish at least 6 -12 months before their desired wedding date. This allows time for the required preparation, which typically includes meetings with a priest or deacon, completion of necessary paperwork, and participation in a marriage preparation program. It is highly recommended that you do not schedule your venue until your date has been cleared by the church. These steps are designed to help couples reflect on the sacred commitment they are making and to prepare them for a strong and faith-filled married life together.
