Christ performed his first miracle at a wedding feast, and the Church has always considered marriage to be a Sacrament which confers a special grace on the couple to live out their life together as a witness to God's love for us.

We congratulate you on your upcoming marriage, and wish you many blessings as you proceed in the preparation for this most significant moment in your lives. The preparation for any Sacrament is a very important moment in one's spiritual life.

Our parish community thanks God for your upcoming union in Christ Jesus. The love that you give to one another is a clear sign of God's love for His People and His Church.

We pray that many blessings will flow from your life together. As this Sacrament is rooted in the community living out our faith, we look forward to your active participation in the life of the Church.

In Christ,

Monsignor Steven Otellini, Pastor
