MarriageA Sacrament

If you are newly engaged, and want to marry in the Church, please contact the office to set up premarital classes. Classes help engaged couples better learn to live God's plan for their marriage. Usually three meetings, the class provides the couple with some basic principles of Catholic beliefs about marriage and family life. Advice and practical assistance for daily life together is provided, including discussions about their relationship, extended families, and financial goals.
The class is led by a married couple that share how the sacrament of marriage is lived in their lives.If you are newly engaged, and want to marry in the Church, please contact the office to set up premarital classes, which is a requirment.
