This
information has been prepared to assist you in planning your wedding by
presenting the wedding policies and procedures observed at St Mary of
the Mount
Parish
.
The Sacrament of Matrimony
is a living reflection of God's love.
You, as the bride and groom mirror that image of love to all God's
people as
you live out this Christian vocation. Couples preparing for this
vocation need
a clear vision of the Sacrament of Matrimony in their lives as
Christian
spouses, and an orientation regarding the principle areas of family
living.
We believe that
there are
three areas of sensitivity and responsibility to every wedding. They
are the
Spiritual, the Civil and the Social. The Spiritual, the Sacramental
Celebration
of Matrimony is our primary concern. We reserve that to ourselves to be
worked
out with you as the bride and groom. While
we are confident that your wedding will be a joyful celebration and for
you and
your families, it must also be an expression of faith within a ceremony
appropriate for a church setting. It is
also our hope that your preparation for the wedding (which lasts a day)
will
not overshadow your commitment to marriage (which lasts a lifetime).
The following
provides you
with some basic guidelines in regards to preparation for Matrimony at
St. Mary
of the Mount.
