Marriage is the sacrament by which Christ joins a Christian man and woman in a grace-giving, lifelong union. Any two baptized people capable of marriage, when they have freely and legally married, receive the sacrament of marriage.

Any Catholic young adult (18 years and older) is eligible for marriage in the Catholic Church. The prospective bride or groom must be a registered member at either St. Nicholas or St. Joseph Parish and a practicing Catholic.
Arrangements must be made at least six months in advance of the wedding date. Arrangements will be finalized only after meeting first with the Pastor.

Persons who are divorced but wanting to marry in the Catholic Church may "petition" to be free to marry. Couples already legally married, one being a baptized Catholic, are welcome to have their marriage "blessed" or convalidated in the Catholic Church. Contact the Pastor: 620-659-2692.
