“Heavenly Father, keep this couple always true to your commandments. Keep them faithful in marriage and let them be living examples of Christian life. Give them the strength that comes from the gospel so that they may be witnesses of Christ to others.”

“The sacrament of Matrimony signifies the union of Christ and the Church. It gives spouses the grace to love each other with the love with which Christ has loved his Church; the grace of the sacrament thus perfects the human love of the spouses, strengthens their indissoluble unity, and sanctifies them on the way to eternal life” — CCC 1161

Our parish requires a minimum six months’ notification of your intention to receive this Sacrament. During these six months, the couple will undergo pre-nuptial interview with the parish priest or deacon. Also the couples will undergo Marriage Preparation Seminar (Pre-Cana) which will address basic components of marriage such as the role of family and friends, future children, finances, communication skills, the practice of faith, and the ceremony itself. To learn more about our marriage preparation program in our parish and to schedule the wedding, please contact the parish office.
