Holy Matrimony

The sacrament of marriage is a sign to the world of God’s own life and love. By blessing it in this way, God invites the spouses to become heroic in their love and commitment, standing by one another for the whole of their lives. Many people look around at our world attacked by constant divorces and miserable marriages and wonder if this kind of love is even possible. The Christian answers confidently that it is not. It’s impossible. We are not capable of a love that’s permanent, fruitful, total, selfless, and faithful… But God is! And in the sacrament of Christian marriage, He gives us the ability to love each other with the kind of love that stands out in our world full of broken relationships. He allows us to love one another with His love! Marriage isn’t easy, but it is worth it, and our God is there to help us every step of the way!

Experiencing the pain of divorce? We are so sorry for this season of suffering in your life. No matter what, remember that God still loves you and has a good plan for you. Even if it seems impossible now, use this time to draw closer to God and allow Him to heal your wounds and restore your happiness. If you need support or encouragement during this difficult time, please reach out to us at the parish; we would be honored to assist you however we can as you make this transition.

Looking for more information about annulments? This process invites the Catholic Church to look more deeply into any previous marriages to determine whether they are sacramentally binding. People who walk through this process are encouraged to find healing and freedom in the arms of the Church. If the previous marriage did not meet the criteria for a Catholic marriage, then the Church can remove it from your official records, freeing you to marry again and reflecting the reality of that relationship in the eyes of God. If you believe these circumstances apply to you, we encourage you to reach out and allow us to walk with you through this new period in your life!
