Marriage

In the Catholic Church, marriage is understood as a sacrament so that the community of believers can encounter God’s real love for all persons made visible in the depth of love between a man and woman. Marriage is what we celebrate; the wedding is where the friends and family witness to these dimensions of love of God for us through the couples’ self-giving love.

We invite couples to engage in marriage preparation, which requires a minimum of six months prior to the celebration. During preparation, the couple are asked to attend a Marriage Prep Program.
