    MARRIAGE
    “When a husband and wife are united in marriage they no longer seem like something earthly,
    but rather like the image of God himself.”
      • St. John Chrysostom
    • The Church's Vision

      From the very beginning, God designed man and woman for each other, calling them into relationship with Him and with one another. Their bond reflects His love for them. Although society has redefined marriage and stripped away its dignity, marriage is sacramental, consecrated by God and not humanly instituted. God who is Love Itself, has created us out of love to love.

    • Our Vision

      Our team supports married couples, and couples engaged to be married, helping them to flourish in their vocation. We provide marriage preparation for the holy Sacrament, support for newlyweds and enrichment opportunities for couples in all stages of life, and we encourage opportunities for mentorship and guidance within parish life.
