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" (CCC 1601).


Marriages are conducted by appointment only. Couples wishing to marry must make arrangements with a priest at least one year in advance of the proposed date and prior to the social arrangements.
