The Sacrament of Marriage

Marriage is a blessed sacrament in the Church and a hope-filled time of celebrating God's grace through the love you share for one another. Your wedding day will be a special day for you, and we look forward to helping you prepare for it.  We also want to help you prepare, not just for the special day, but for your entire married life together. Because marriage is a sacrament in the Catholic Church, it is not only a special moment for the two of you, but it is also a sacred event for all of us.

Plan for at least six to nine months’ time to prepare for you for the Sacrament of Matrimony. We are so happy that you are taking the time to prepare for a strong healthy, joy-filled marriage. The foundation you lay down together now will bear much fruit for many years to come. This important journey of love will impact your future families and the next generation of marriages. This time of enrichment and spiritual growth will serve to deepen your love of God and neighbor.

Weddings are celebrated on Saturdays at 11 a.m., 2 p.m. or 7 p.m. Wedding ceremony dates can be requested on a tentative basis, however, you must attend the Engaged Couple Orientation and meet with the Family Life Director who will provide guidance in arranging all aspects of your marriage preparation before the date is formally scheduled.
