Marriage Preparation
Marriage Preparation:
The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament. (Catechism #1601)
Preparation before the Sacrament of Marriage is necessary for the couple. In order to have sufficient time for this preparation, the Pastor must be contacted six to twelve months prior to the wedding. Contact Monsignor Michael D. McCarron at mmdm@ssmrcc.org. |
