Dear Engaged Couple,
Congratulations on your engagement! As you prepare to enter into the Sacrament of Matrimony, know that this is a time of great joy- not only for you and your families, but also for our parish community. Your decision to marry in the Church is a response to God’s loving call and a beautiful witness of faith and commitment.
The Catholic Church recognizes marriage as a sacrament- a visible sign of God’s grace and love. Through your vows, you will enter into a lifelong covenant that reflects Christ’s faithful love for His Church. As you prepare for this sacred vocation, our parish is honoured to accompany you with our prayers and support.
As you plan for your wedding day, remember that while a wedding is a single day, a marriage is a lifetime. Our goal is to help prepare not only for a beautiful celebration but also for a strong, joyful, and faith-filled marriage that will endure for years to come.
If you are inquiring about celebrating the Sacrament of Marriage at St. Ann Parish, please contact the parish office to schedule an initial meeting with the priest. During this meeting, you will discuss the marriage preparation process, available wedding dates, and have the opportunity to ask any question you may have.
Be assured of our prayers during this exciting time of preparation. We look forward to walking with you as you begin this wonderful new chapter together.
May God richly bless you both.
Sincerely,
Fr. Ross Campbell, Pastor
