Weddings

The families of Sts Mary & Joseph Collaborative rejoice and offer congratulations as you journey toward the celebration of the Sacrament of Marriage.

We welcome the responsibility of sharing in your preparation, not only for your wedding day, but also for years of happy married life.

Both of you, being important and special members of the family of God, are seeking to be married in Christ Jesus at Saint Joseph Parish. As members of the Church we believe that a marriage is a covenant, a commitment of love where you offer your entire lives, in all dimensions, to each other. This love of a couple must reflect the love that Jesus has for us his people – constant, eternal and self sacrificing.

This sacramental relationship begins the moment you exchange your vows. The Lord enters your covenant of marriage with a commitment of his own – to be with you always in your married life. A Christian marriage is your profession of faith in the covenant love of God and one another.

A Sacrament is an efficacious sign of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us.

Our Christian faith is our way of life with Christ. If you haven’t been living out your faith in recent years, your desire to be married must be accompanied by prayer, worship and participation in the sacramental life of the Church.

The Church asks that couples seeking the Sacrament of Marriage to undergo instruction in the meaning of love, the nature of Christian marriage as it is lived from day to day, and the understanding of the Sacrament of Marriage.
