Marriage

The sacrament of matrimony signifies the union of Christ and the Church. It gives spouses the grace to love each other with the love with which Christ has loved his Church; the grace of the sacrament thus perfects the human love of the spouses, strengthens their indissoluble unity, and sanctifies them on the way to eternal life. – Catechism of the Catholic Church #1661

We rejoice with you as you prepare, not only for your wedding liturgy, but also for your Catholic marriage! The Sacrament of Marriage is a beautiful and sacred covenant, designed to glorify God, unite families, nurture thriving children, strengthen the Church, and build a healthier community.
