Matrimony

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 of the Catholic Church 1601

Couples should contact the pastor as soon as they decide to marry and before any other arrangements are made.  The Diocesan policy requires a minimum one-year period of reparation.  For more information, contact the Parish Office at 508-234-5656.
