Matrimony

The sacrament of Matrimony is truly a sacred occasion for Catholics. It is a covenant between a man and a woman who promise to love each other as Christ loves the Church. This means that the love between husband and wife is sacrificial, selfless, and enduring. It is a bond that is meant to last a lifetime.

"For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one."
​Matthew 19:5

Marriage in the Catholic Church Checklist

Marriage Prep

Marriage Preparation classes are not

just a requirement, but a wonderful

time for the future Husband and Wife

to prepare themselves for this incredible

sacrament and what they truly 

represent. 

Paperwork

After obtaining contact with a priest, you will then be instructed to complete

the forms below and return them to the

parish offices for review. Please note that it is vital to speak with a priest prior to setting a date, to determine the availability of the church. 

Contact The Priest

Congratulations on your engagement!

Before you book any other venues, it is imperative that you notify a priest, if your intention is to be married within Saint Joseph or any other Catholic Parish, to ensure all requirements are met for a Catholic wedding. 

Why Be Married in the Catholic Church?

Ever heard the term, in regard to Marriage, "It's just a piece of paper"? Well, to Catholics, this couldn't be any further from the truth! A marriage recognized within the Catholic church is so sacred and special, that it is actually one of the seven sacraments, a sacrament of Service!  If you would like to read further about why we are so "In Love" with the Sacrament of Matrimony, click below.
