Marriage is
the blessed sacrament of becoming one and growing
together in faith
This
matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman
establish between themselves a partnership of the
whole life, is by its nature ordered toward the good
of the spouses and the procreation and education of
offspring; this covenant between baptized persons
has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of
a sacrament.
Diocesan policy requires couples
to notify the parish at least six months in advance
and take pre-marriage classes. No plans should be
made for a church wedding until the couple has met
with the pastor. This six month period is used as a
spiritual formation and counseling time. Please call
the Parish Office to make arrangements. |
