Weddings
The Sacrament of Marriage, or Holy Matrimony, is a public sign that
one gives oneself totally to this other person. It is also a public
statement about God: the loving union of husband and wife is a
reflection of the perfect love God has for each of us.
We congratulate you both and warmly welcome you to be married here
at St. Mary Church!
There are a number of preliminary steps you should take if you are
considering marriage at St. Mary.
First,
parish registration
is required if you live within the St. Mary boundary, or written
permission from the pastor of the parish where you are registered.
A six-month preparation period is required by the diocese
for all marriages during which time you will meet occasionally with
a priest and attend the Diocesan Conference for the Engaged.
Please call the Parish Office at 540-373-6491 to schedule an
appointment with a priest.
Reservations for wedding dates are made by the priest based
on the availability of the church at the time of your meeting.
