Contact the parish office at least 6 months prior to the proposed wedding date to begin preparation.
So also husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one hates his own flesh but rather nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ does the Church, because we are members of his Body. For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.
- Ephesians 5:28-31
The Sacrament of Marriage refers to the covenant between a husband and wife. Woman and man are equal in human dignity, and in marriage both are united in an unbreakable bond.
The covenant of love into which spouses enter in marriage reflects the love of Christ for the Church and his self-gift on behalf of humanity.
