Sacrament of Holy Matrimony.

What is Holy Matrimony?

The Sacrament of Matrimony or Marriage is the sacred covenant between a man and a woman who promise fidelity between themselves and God.  It establishes an intimate community of life and love and that the good of the other is the foremost attitude. Through this sacrament, God gives special graces for life’s difficulties and especially to help raise their children as loving followers of Christ.

A way to celebrate together.

When do we celebrate Holy Matrimony?

If you are interested in participating in the Sacrament of Marriage, please call the Parish Office. Couples planning to marry are encouraged to make arrangements at least six months prior to the wedding date.  The Calgary Diocese requires formation classes for all couples preparing for marriage

Vision.

Why is Holy Matrimony Important?

Baptism is an important sacrament because Jesus was baptised, and after his resurrection he told his disciples that they too should be baptised. It was John who baptised Jesus. Christians believe that baptising cleanses people from original sin and marks a person’s official entry into the Church .

Holy Matrimony.

Thank you for your Love.

Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.
