The Sacrament of Holy Matrimony is a serious vow between a man and a woman, as it is the sacramental sign of Christ’s love for the Church.

Couples who wish to enter into marriage must contact a priest a least nine months before the wedding. One of the parties must be a registered member in the parish at least six months before a date can be set. 

When you begin the marriage preparation process, guidelines for the celebration of the sacrament will be given to you after permission for the sacrament to take place has been granted. Couples take a compatability inventory, receive counsel from a priest, and participate in a Pre-Cana class sponsored by the Diocese. To begin the process of preparing for the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony, please contact Jan Marrah at 765-452-6021 ext 203.
