Sacraments of Service
The sacraments of service – Matrimony (or “Marriage”) and Holy Orders – are both calls from Our Lord to share our lives with others in special ways. Marriage: The commitment made by a couple, through the Sacrament of Matrimony, is a sign of God’s love and faithfulness. The Christian community shares their joy as they prepare to enter a new life together in the holy Sacrament of Marriage. A sacramental Marriage celebrated in the Catholic Church acknowledges the importance of God in the lives of both husband and wife. Members of our Wedding Ministry [Angel Couples] meet with couples before their wedding to help in the planning of the ceremony. They preside over the rehearsals and walk the couples through the ceremony. They attend the weddings and help the clergy and the couples to ensure a memorable experience. Arrangements must be made six months in advance.
