Marriage

A Catholic marriage ceremony may either be a ‘Nuptial Mass’ or a ‘Wedding Ceremony’, and must be witnessed by a Priest or a Deacon. The sacrament of Marriage is important for the wider community because it reminds us of the faithful, never-ending love that God has for humanity and highlights the giving-unto-death love that was so much a part of Jesus’ living and dying.

 

The Sacrament of Marriage is celebrated in a Parish Church. The couple will be asked to undertake a marriage preparation programme. Please complete the form on the most appropriate location for more information and bookings.
