The sacrament of Matrimony means becoming husband and wife
through a sacred covenant with God and each other.
A Catholic marriage is a vocation...a calling from God...and a sacrament.
The participants enter the Sacrament of Matrimony with the intention that their union will be
Permanent (unto death),
Faithful (no adultery)
and Fruitful (open to the possibility of children, if God wills it). -
-
Couples need to schedule a meeting with the priest at least six (6) months before the proposed marriage date to begin the necessary preparations for the Sacrament of Matrimony.
Se require que parejas interesadas en celebrar su matrimonio en la Iglesia se comuniquen con el sacerdote por lo menos con seis (6) meses de anticipación a la fecha deseada para la boda, con el fin de complir todos los requisites para el sacramento del matrimonio. -
