What is Matrimony in the Church?

 "The sacrament of matrimony signifies the union of Christ and the Church.

It gives spouses the grace to love each other with the love with which Christ has loved His Church; the grace of the sacrament thus perfects the human love of the spouses, strengthens their indissoluble unity, and sanctifies them on the way to eternal life". (CCC 1661). From the Catechism of the Catholic Church. 

Matrimony is the marriage contract between Christians raised by Christ to the dignity of a sacrament. 

Please contact the parish center to start the marriage process at our parish. Please allow at least 6 months planning time and more time if you are able. The wedding date is not verified until after you have your first meeting with the priest. Please see the wedding face sheet and wedding preparation packet to start the preparation process.

Wedding donation request is here.

Please consult the Archdiocese of Milwaukee wedding preparation information as well.
