sacrament of
​holy matrimony

The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament.
- 
Code of Canon Law, canon 1055 § 1

Couples contemplating marriage must contact the Parish for an appointment at least SIX MONTHS IN ADVANCE. To assure your date, call one year in advance of your desired wedding date. The diocesan guidelines including Catholic marriage preparation must be fulfilled. Click here for information about Diocesan requirements. It is presumed that, for marriage to be celebrated in the Church, one of the partners is a practicing member of the Roman Catholic Tradition.

​To learn more  about planning your wedding at Saint Francis Xavier and Saint Wendel, contact Rhonda Fehrenbacher.
