Matrimony

Matrimony

Sacramental Marriage is more than a union of a man and a woman; it is symbolic of the divine union between Christ, the Bridegroom, and His Bride, the Church.  As married Christians, open to the creation of new life and committed to our mutual salvation, we participate not only in God's creative act but in the redemptive act of Christ.

The Sacrament of Marriage is a covenant, which is more than a contract. Covenant always expresses a relationship between persons. The marriage covenant refers to the relationship between the husband and wife, a permanent union of persons capable of knowing and loving each other and God. The celebration of marriage is also a liturgical act, appropriately held in a public liturgy at church. Catholics are urged to celebrate their marriage within the Eucharistic Liturgy.

If you would like celebrate the Sacrament of Matrimony at The Parish of Saint Mary, please contact the parish office one year in advance of your desired wedding date, BEFORE making any social arrangements.
