The sacrament of matrimony beautifully celebrates the love and union of a woman and man. In this irrevocable covenant, the unity and love of the couple is meant to signify and share in the mystery of unity and fruitful love that exists between Christ and the Church. Husband and wife are called by God to help each other grow in holiness in their life together. They also help each other to raise any children God gives to them in the love and knowledge of God, who is the source of all love. The Catholic Church views matrimony as an immensely important gift to the whole Church. Therefore, we pledge our prayers and resources to those preparing for this sacrament, and to those already married. Knowing the many challenges facing married couples today, we believe that a solid and practical preparation to receive the Sacrament of Christian Marriage is more important now than ever. The marriage preparation program aims to help a couple preparing for marriage attain the skills needed to allow their union to flourish in their life-long commitment together as a married couple. Couples are asked to contact the priest six months prior to the anticipated wedding date to complete necessary paperwork and to receive required marriage formation counseling.
