Catholic Teaching About Marriage
Congratulations on your engagement and welcome to beginning your marriage preparation at St. Ignatius of Loyola! For most people marriage is one of the most important decisions and realities of their life; in it, they form a community of love. For Catholics, marriage is not merely a civil contract but is a covenant between a man and a woman before God. If both are baptized, the marriage is a sacrament, a symbol of the unity of Christ and the Church. A sacramental marriage is a means of grace, giving strength to the husband and wife to live out their commitment, and to help each on the path to holiness. As you prepare for marriage, you'll be asked to reflect carefully and prayerfully on the nature of the Sacrament.

Enseñanza CatÓlica sobre el Matrimonio
¡Felicitaciones por su compromiso y bienvenido a comenzar su preparación matrimonial en St. Ignatius of Loyola! Para la mayoría de las personas, el matrimonio es una de las decisiones y realidades más importantes de su vida; en ella forman una comunidad de amor. Para los católicos, el matrimonio no es simplemente un contrato civil sino un pacto entre un hombre y una mujer ante Dios. Si ambos están bautizados, el matrimonio es un sacramento, un símbolo de la unidad de Cristo y la Iglesia. El matrimonio sacramental es un medio de gracia, que da fuerza al marido ya la mujer para vivir su compromiso y ayudar a cada uno en el camino de la santidad. Mientras se prepara para el matrimonio, se le pedirá que reflexione cuidadosamente y con oración sobre la naturaleza del Sacramento.

FAQ:
How long before we get married should we register for the Marriage Orientation? The preparation process takes a minimum of 6-9 months so please consider attending the introductory session at least 7-10 months prior to your anticipated marriage date.
Should I book a venue or make arrangements at the church first?
Before you reserve a venue, or contract with a photographer, or think about invitations, or make any other agreements, you should attend the Marriage Orientation session. Archdiocesan guidelines require that you schedule your wedding at least 6 to 9 months before the time you'd like to get married. This will allow sufficient time for preparation, not only for the wedding celebration, which will last a short time but also for the marriage, which will last a lifetime.
Should we bring anything with us to the Marriage Orientation?
You are welcome to download and complete the Marriage Preparation Information Form (found above), along with a recently certified copy (issued within the last 6 months) of each one's baptismal certificates to the session (if possible) and bring both with you to the orientation.
When do weddings take place at St. Ignatius?
Weddings are celebrated on Saturdays at 11 a.m., 2 p.m., or 7:30 p.m.
Rehearsals are conducted the Friday evening before the wedding at 5:30 p.m.
How much does it cost to get married at St. Ignatius?
Fees will be discussed at the Marriage Orientation Session. However, any fees incurred are not for the Sacrament of Marriage, but rather for the ministers who will be partaking in your wedding such as musicians, liturgical ministers, and wedding coordinators.
What if I am not a parishioner at St. Ignatius?
A parishioner is a person who has been a registered and a contributing member of St. Ignatius of Loyola Parish for at least 6 months prior to scheduling their wedding. All others are considered non-parishioners. Please contact the office for additional information.
What does the church say about marriage?The sacrament of Matrimony signifies the union of Christ and the Church. It gives spouses the grace to love each other with the love with which Christ has loved his Church; the grace of the sacrament thus 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)
