A Sacrament of Service

Holy Scripture affirms that man and woman were created for one another. The Pastoral Staff of St. Joseph Parish extends congratulations and a cordial welcome to you who are planning to consecrate your love for one another in the Sacrament of Matrimony. (7)

There are many considerations to be made in preparation for your wedding ceremony. Please visit our marriage preparation page and review the expectations involved in allowing St. Joseph Parish to host your wedding celebration.

"But from the beginning of creation, 'God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother (and be joined to his wife), and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate." - Mark 10:6-9
