The Sacrament of Matrimony is covenant which is a permanent union between a man and a woman. It is ultimately a reflection of the spousal love Christ has for His Church. A bishop, priest, or deacon stands as a witness of the Church during the celebration of Holy Matrimony, but it is the bride and groom who are the ministers of the sacrament as they unite to each other through their vows. Since it is a sacrament, weddings can take place only in a church.
Arrangements should be made at least six months prior to your wedding date. Please contact the parish in which the wedding is to occur. A date will be set only after contacting a priest.
