The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that “the matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life… has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament” (CCC 1601).

​

Through their vows, husband and wife are called to a communion marked by fidelity, permanence, sacrifice, and openness to life.

​

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen famously wrote, “It takes three to make love last: you, your spouse, and God.”

​

Catholic marriage is strongest when centered on Christ, who unites and sustains the couple through every season of life.

​

Preparation for marriage is an important part of honoring this sacred vocation. The Church invites engaged couples into a time of formation, prayer, and reflection so they may enter marriage with faith, intention, and a deeper understanding of their calling.

Our parish community rejoices in and supports married couples, recognizing marriage as a living witness to God’s faithful and enduring love.
