Marriage
"The matrimonial covenant, by which a man
and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of
life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the
procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized
persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a
sacrament." CIC,
can. 1055 § 1; cf. GS 48 § 1.
Six months notice is required for weddings.
No weddings are celebrated in the Lenten season.
For further information, please contact the
parish.
For a brief explanation of the Sacrament of
Marriage, the Catechism of the Catholic Church is a good place to
start.
