“The love between spouses in marriage reflects the love of Christ for the Church. The marital love of spouses reflects God’s own love for humanity.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1604)

Congratulations on Your Engagement!
Your witness of love for each other is a wonderful gift from God. At St. Bartholomew and St. Joseph, we look forward to assisting you in your planning and preparation to receive the Sacrament of Matrimony.
The Catholic Church wants couples to form strong, lasting marriages.
Marriage preparation takes a minimum of six months to ensure sufficient and proper preparation for the Sacrament of Marriage. The first step for couples looking to get married at St. Bartholomew or St. Joseph is to contact the Parish Office to schedule a meeting with Fr. Noah.
