Matrimony

- The Sacrament of Matrimony
  
  “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one body.” (Genesis 2:24)
  
  Through the Sacrament of Matrimony, spouses express and exchange their consent to give themselves to each other. It’s an act of love and an act of service, as they commit to build the kingdom of God through their role in the domestic Church, an elemental part of the larger Body of Christ.
  
  Christian spouses have their own special gifts in the People of God. This grace proper to the Sacrament of Matrimony is intended to perfect the couple's love and to strengthen their indissoluble unity. By this grace they help one another to attain holiness in their married life and in welcoming and educating their children. (CCC1641)
- Matrimony at St. Anthony Church
  
  St. Anthony Church is a wonderful place to celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. Couples should contact the parish upon their engagement, usually six months prior to the desired date of the wedding ceremony.
