Marriage
Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1601 "The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament."
For those interested in becoming married in our church, arrangements must be made with a priest at least 6 months prior to your desired wedding date.. Contact the Parish Office to schedule an appointment with a Priest. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia requires that all couples attend a Pre-Cana class before marriage. At this time we ask you to go to Archphila.org, under Marriage preparations to take the class online.
