MARRIAGE / MARTIMONY

SACRAMENT OF SERVICE

Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh"
Genesis 2:24

A Matrimony is one of the two sacraments of service. Married couples promise to serve each other with love and to serve the whole Church. They enter into a lifelong covenant of love. This is their vocation and they serve the Church by their love. When they give birth to children, they share in God's creation in a special way. In marriage, God gives a man and woman the grace and blessings to build a Christian family together. The church celebrates the call to love in a special way in the sacrament of Matrimony.

The Sacrament of Matrimony is a calling from God, where a man and woman are joined together in a life-long union of procreative love. The creator set up this union from the very beginning by the way in which He created men and women. Jesus taught that the nature of marriage itself reflects the indivisible unity of the love of God.​​

Marriage Preparation Requirement

​The movement toward this life choice, the union of marriage, requires careful consideration and spiritual reparation.

​WHAT YOU NEED TO DO       
If you wish to marry within the Catholic Church, please contact our Administrative Assistant at 403.275.2240 ext. 1 at least six months prior to the desired date of marriage to ensure suitable arrangements and preparation can be made.  The initial meeting is important as it will cover several areas such as the wedding date (venue and time), review the other requirements, and the marriage preparation course to be taken.

If one of the parties has been married before, this will require an in-person meeting with the Pastor.
