More than a civil union, marriage for Catholics is a sacrament – an outward sign of inward grace – instituted by Christ. Not simply the joining of two people, marriage is the intimate union of three – God at the center – in a lifetime covenant of love, fidelity, and mutual support. Through God’s grace, the steadfast and selfless love between husband and wife becomes symbolic of the faithful, abundant, steadfast, and sacrificial love of Christ for His Church.
Congratulations! This is an exciting time – the start of a new adventure.
Like Baptism, marriage is a daily commitment, lived out over a lifetime.
We, at St. Rose of Lima, would like to help you prepare, not just for the wedding day, for a new life together – a life strengthened with love and faith. Please give us a call at (508) 393-2413 at least 12 months in advance, so we can assist you in this journey of a lifetime.
