Matrimony

It is with great joy and hopes that we welcome those who wish to marry in the Catholic Church. By marrying in the Church, a couple invites God to be an extraordinary and prominent part of their life together.

This also states a desire for the Catholic community and faith to be engaged in their preparation and lifelong journey. The Catholic concept of marriage is a covenant and a lived relationship with God and the community; it is far more than an arrangement, bargain, or contract between two people.

We look forward to journeying with those entering this sacrament, preparing both for a wedding and a lifetime commitment. We hope to make the day of the wedding a special occasion to remember, and we take seriously the desire of the couple to receive Catholic support in living out the joys and responsibilities of marriage.

The following guidelines and resources can assist those seeking to prepare for the sacrament of Marriage and the wedding day itself.
