In the Catholic Church, marriage is more than a natural institution; it was elevated by Christ Himself, in His participation in the wedding at Cana (John 2:1-11), to be one of the seven sacraments. A marriage between two Christians, therefore, has a supernatural element as well as a natural one. While few Christians outside of the Catholic and Orthodox Churches regard marriage as a sacrament, the Catholic Church insists that marriage between any two baptized Christians, as long as it is entered into with the intention to contract a true marriage, is a sacrament.
We welcome you to explore celebration of The Sacrament of Marriage at St. Agnes Parish.
Receiving the Sacrament of Marriage requires consultation with the Parish at least one year before the planned event.
Marriage Preparation Program: A marriage preparation course is required and this is arranged through Teresa Hartnett, Director of Family Ministry, Diocese of Hamilton.
