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 baptised persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament." Catechsim of the Catholic Church

All couples wishing to be married in St. Joseph's will have to attend all necessary preparations which will be advised by the parish priest. It would be appreciated if couples gave the church as advance notice as possible to accommodate their wishes.

Couples who are resident in other parishes, should contact the parish priest in their parish of residence, who is responsible for their marriage preparation and for completing the required church paperwork.
