Holy Matrimony

sacrament of holy matrimony

Baptized Catholics enter marriage validly in a Catholic Church, with a Catholic Priest or Deacon, and at least two witnesses, unless one of these requirements has been dispensed by the Archbishop. Those who feel called by God to the vocation of marriage and would like to prepare for and receive this Sacrament (or who need to regularize an invalid marriage) may contact Debbie Minton at [email protected] or 502-969-3332, ext. 106. Contact should be made at least six months prior to the proposed wedding date.
What is marriage?

Marriage is a sacred covenant of life and love established between a man and a woman. This sacrament is a sacrament in service of communion and is ordered by God to the well-being of the spouses and to the procreation and upbringing of children. It is directed toward the salvation of others. Through an exchange of consent, a man and woman commit themselves to love each other until death.
