The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of 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. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1601)
Marriage Preparation
Marriage is a sacred event, a sacrament. The ritual celebrated before the community is only the beginning of the event, not the final step. The couple continues the "sacramenting" process as they live their convenantal relationship and life together. To enter the preparatory period toward the celebration of this sacrament, education and formation are required. In order to initiate the process please contact the parish office at least six months in advance to schedule an appointment with one of the priests.
