The Sacrament of Marriage is a covenant between a husband and wife.  This covenant is a permanent union of persons capable of knowing and loving each other and God.

The grace of this Sacrament perfects the love of husband and wife, binds them together in fidelity, and helps them welcome and care for children. Christ is the source of this grace and he dwells with the spouses to strengthen their covenant promises, to bear each other's burdens with forgiveness and kindness, and to experience ahead of time the "wedding feast of the Lamb" (Rev 19:9).

WEDDINGS

Couples planning to be married should notify the parish office at least six months in advance of their wedding date. This will ensure adequate time to make arrangement and to complete the required sacramental marriage preparation program. 

ENGAGED ENCOUNTER

This is a weekend spent with other engaged couples. Couples dialogue privately with each other on all aspects of married life. Engaged Encounter or a similar program is required for all couples getting married in the Archdiocese of Mobile. Contact our priests for more information.
