"Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
Mark 10:9
What is marriage?
Marriage is a Christian sacrament that unites a man and a woman in a lifelong bond of love, fidelity, and mutual support. Rooted in God’s covenant with humanity, this sacrament mirrors Christ’s love for the Church.
The ceremony, celebrated in church, is not only a personal commitment but a spiritual calling. The couple receives grace to grow in love, raise a family in faith, and serve the community as a witness of God’s enduring love.
