The sacrament of matrimony is a public and loving commitment of husband and wife to be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.
It is a commitment to love one another with a supernatural, tender and fruitful love. By the grace of the sacrament, husband and wife help one another to attain holiness in their married life and in welcoming and educating their children.
A couple desiring to be married must contact a parish priest at least six months before the proposed date of their wedding. This requirement is to ensure adequate time for catechesis and to permit sufficient reflection on one's readiness to enter into this sacrament.
Before setting a date for your wedding, please contact the church office at 706-863-4956 to speak with one of our priests.
