Matrimony

The Sacrament of Matrimony is a call by God to a couple to enter into a marriage characterized by Christian love which in turn mirrors Christ's love for the Church, his bride. In a society of fragile marriages, the Church calls couples to consider seriously this call from God and to assume the "duties of marriage" for life. Because this is perhaps the most important decision of a couple's life, the Church has guidelines to follow to help the couple solidify this decision under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Couples planning marriage must call one of the priests at 314 965-0709 at least six months in advance. For information on the marriage preparation program, contact Jim and Kathy McDonough at 314 822-3871.
