  • Sacrament of Marriage

    Marriage, like Holy Orders, is a sacrament that has the mission and the power to make Jesus present to each other, to their children, to anyone whom they touch as a couple and as a family. This sacrament, seen as a sign of the love uniting Christ and the Church, establishes between the spouses a permanent and exclusive bond, sealed by God. Accordingly, a marriage between baptized persons, validly entered into and consummated, cannot be dissolved. The sacrament imparts the grace needed for attaining holiness in married life and for responsible acceptance and upbringing of children.

    Please contact the Parish Office six months prior to the date of the marriage for preparation requirements.

    Congratulations!
    The sacrament of marriage is a covenant between you, your spouse, and God.

    Marriage preparation at Pax Christi includes and is not limited to:  

    • Meet with the priest or deacon who will be presiding at your wedding at least 6 months prior to the wedding
    • Complete a prenuptial questionnaire
    • Complete a FOCCUS FOCCUS (Facilitating Open Couple Communication, Understanding and Study) pre-marriage inventory and meet with a mentor couple OR
    • Attend a Pre-Cana or Engaged Encounter retreat weekend as a couple 
    • Attend Natural Family Planning sessions
    • Meet with a priest or deacon to discuss the theology and spirituality of marriage
    • Contact our Director of Music, Mark Scheitel, to discuss music for your ceremony
