WHAT IS THE SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE?
Marriage is the unique Sacrament which binds one man and one woman together in a covenant under God and His Church. It is a Sacrament of vocation, a response to a specific calling that God has placed in the hearts of a couple. It is a bond that lasts for life which is permanent, faithful, and fruitful. Marriage is not just about two people, but is the foundation of the family, the "domestic church," the most basic and foundational structure, not only for the Church, but for all of society.

CELEBRATING A WEDDING
Congratulations on your engagement! We are happy to help you plan your wedding at St. Thomas More. The Sacrament of Marriage requires a preparation period which begins with the couple contacting one of our priests at least six months in advance of the wedding date. Before confirming your reception location please complete the form below and one of our priests will contact you to set up an appointment to discuss planning your wedding. At that meeting the priest will be able to schedule your date. Couples are required to participate in marriage preparation programs at the parish and at the diocese level.
