Marriage is a sacrament that is seen as a sign of love that establishes between the spouses a permanent and exclusive bond and covenant sealed by God. The Sacrament confers on the couple the grace they need for attaining holiness in their married life and for the commitment to their children's faith formation.
Marriage Preparation
The Church asks every couple seeking the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony to have a minimum of six months of engagement before their wedding day. Please contact the parish office at least six months before the desired date to submit a request and to begin the Witness to Love Marriage Preparation Program. This time of preparation helps to prepare engaged couples for the commitment of the Sacrament. With the direction of the parish priest, the program uses a team of married couples, called mentor couples, who work with the engaged couple one-on-one. To begin this process, please call 937-498-2307. No date for a wedding will be confirmed until the engaged couple has met with the priest or deacon.
