If you have clicked on this menu item, it probably means you are considering marriage or have become engaged. Congratulations! We’re delighted that you are considering Blessed Sacrament, St Mary’s or St. Boniface for your wedding, and we look forward to helping you prepare for this very special day.
Please do not finalize your plans for a reception site until you are sure you have a date set at the church. To discuss available dates at Blessed Sacrament, Saint Boniface, or Saint Mary’s please contact the office at 271-7240 or fr.john.loncle@dor.org
In the Catholic tradition, marriage is a sacrament. For a marriage to be sacramental, two baptized persons, at least one of them being Catholic:
- Freely enter into a vowed commitment of respect, reverence and love
- Make this promise for a lifetime
- Promise fidelity to each other
- Desire that their love be blessed with children and make the commitment to pass on the gift of faith to their children
