S
o God created man in His own image, male and female He created them. And God
blessed them, and God said unto them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue
it,
and have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that
moveth upon the earth." [Genesis 1:26 – 28]
The Sacrament of Matrimony signifies the union of Christ and the Church. It gives spouses the grace to love each other with the love that Christ loves His Church. The grace of the Sacrament perfects the human love of the spouses, strengthens their indissoluble unity, and sanctifies them on the way to eternal life. [Catechism of the Catholic Church Reference: 1661]
Matrimony at St Paul's Church
Couples wishing to receive this sacrament must first complete a pre-cana course. A sponsor couple will work with you on this journey to understand elements of married life.
If couples are not registered members of St Paul's parish, special arrangements need made. Couples should be registered members of St Paul's church at least 6 months before arranging plans for marriage at St Paul's. For more information, please contact the office.
