Marriage Ministries

Each year we celebrate the gift of marriage with a special "Cana" evening. Married couples are invited to enjoy an evening together. The evening includes a prayer service, followed by a catered dinner, dance and/or speaker. It is a wonderful evening to honor the Sacrament of Marriage and enjoy the fellowship of other married couples in our Parish.

Couples intending to be married at St. Vincent's are to participate in the Prepare Program to develop skills needed for a successful marriage. Married couples are the mentors in this program.

This is a declaration by a Church Tribunal (a Catholic Church court) that a marriage thought to be valid according to Church Law actually fell short of at least one of the essential elements required for a binding.
