The Sacrament of Marriage
Marriage is a sacrament . . . a public sign where the couple vows mutual and lasting fidelity in the presence of the Church. In this Sacrament, our Lord pledges to be with the couple providing strength to live out their commitment. The couple's promise, made in the Church, provides the assurance of a faith community to deepen their relationship and provide structure to live the faith and pass it on to another generation.
The couple is the minister of the Sacrament. While they are the focus of the day, the celebration of a Sacrament makes the marriage more than just "Their Day." The nature of the Sacrament demands that the marriage be celebrated in certain ways.
Please read our Wedding Guidelines. This booklet provides guidelines to assure the dignity and respect of such an important time.

Our Mission ~ The St. Francis of Assisi community is a welcoming Christian family. We believe in Jesus Christ, and are guided by the Holy Spirit and the example of St. Francis. We gather to celebrate, to grow in the knowledge of our faith rooted in the Catholic tradition, and to recognize our responsibility to reach out to the world.
