Sacraments
The Sacrament of Marriage / Weddings / Matrimony
The sacrament of matrimony is also a vocation.
Through the vows taken a man and woman are joined together for life.
Marriage begins with a wedding service in the presence of God and the faith community and the couple continue to confer the sacrament on one another whenever they offer themselves in the service of the other and the larger community.
Thus, marriage is an ongoing sacrament. The grace of the sacrament is there to strengthen the couple and should be open to creating and raising a family.
Before making any arrangements for your wedding, please contact the Parish Priest. This should be at least 6 months in advance of your preferred wedding date, to allow sufficient time for the required preparation.
