Saint Patrick Catholic Church

Holy Matrimony

 

Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and they become one flesh.
— Genesis 2:24
 

The Sacrament of Holy Matrimony is when a husband and a wife are joined before God and their assembled friends and family.  This marriage closely resembles Christ’s unity with the church.  Although we do not have laborious requirements, we do expect couples entering into the sacrament to have taken the time to know, respect and understand each other.  The couple is encouraged to establish a Catholic family following the ceremony of the marriage itself.

We offer the sacrament to those entering marriage for the first time, as well as those who have chosen to enter marry again after divorce or the loss of a spouse. We offer an ecumenical solution to Catholics who wish to marry those of other Christian faiths.

Please consider St. Patrick Catholic Church in your marriage planning.  We have assisted many couples, both parishioners and non-parishioners, with their marriage preparation and would be honored to celebrate this sacrament with you.  Your wedding ceremony may be celebrated at the church or, for your convenience, at a location of your choosing.
