Marriage Preparation
"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)
To celebrate the sacrament of marriage at Saint Thomas, we ask that at least one of the two engaged are members of the parish and participate in our marriage preparation. Before you start planning your wedding and making the down payment on your wedding venue, please contact our office to provide you with the initial information. The marriage preparation program takes 12 months.
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."
