Sacraments of Service
The Church continues Jesus' mission of service through married couples and through our ordained ministers, bishops, priests, and deacons through the Sacraments of Service: Sacraments: Matrimony
"That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one body." Genesis 2:24
Matrimony is one of the two sacraments of service. Married couples promise to serve each other with love and to serve the whole Church. They enter into a lifelong covenant of love. This is their vocation. They serve the Church by their love and they share in God's creation in a special way when they give birth to children. In Matrimony, God gives a man and woman the special grace and blessings to build a Christian family together. The Church celebrates the call to love in a special way in the sacrament of Matrimony or marriage.
