The Sacrament of Marriage, or Holy Matrimony, is a public sign that one gives oneself totally to this other person. It is also a public statement about God: the loving union of husband and wife speaks of family values and also God’s values. In the vocation of matrimony, husband and wife are called to be an image of how Christ has loved the church.

Marriage arrangements must be made at least six months prior to the wedding date. Please contact the rectory for complete information about marriage preparation in the Diocese. Go to bqfaith.org to learn more about the diocesan Pre-Cana program and register.
