The Sacrament of Marriage, or Holy Matrimony, is a public sign that one gives oneself totally to this other person. It is also a public statement about God: the loving union of husband and wife speaks of family values and also God’s values. In the vocation of matrimony, husband and wife are called to be an image of how Christ has loved the church.
Couples must make arrangements at the rectory 8 months before the marriage. Both parties must see the priest. All couples must also attend the Pre-Cana program. Go to bqfaith.org to learn more and register.
