"The Sacrament of Marriage is a covenant, which is more than a contract. Covenant always expresses a relationship between persons. The marriage covenant refers to the relationship between the husband and wife, a permanent union of persons capable of knowing and loving each other and God. The celebration of marriage is also a liturgical act, appropriately held in a public liturgy at church. Catholics are urged to celebrate their marriage within the Eucharistic Liturgy." ~from the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults
Couples planning to be married should contact the Church Office at least 6 months in advance. The office will make an appointment for you to meet with Fr. Jonathan Phillips or Deacon Frankie Ruiz.
One of the requirements is that you will need to attend a Marriage Retreat before the wedding. Please contact the Church Office for more information and to register for one of the Marriage Retreat sessions listed below. These sessions are led by Deacon Frankie Ruiz.
