"The Sacrament of Marriage us a covenant, which is more than a contract. The marriage covenant refers to the relationship between the husband and wife, a permanent union of persons capable of knowing and loving each other and God. A covenant always expresses a relationship between persons. A marriage celebration is also a liturgical act, appropriately held in a public liturgy at Church. Catholics are urged to celebrate their marriage within the Eucharist Liturgy."

-Catechism of the Catholic Church 1601 

Congratulations on your engagement!   

We are glad you are considering making St. Ambrose a part of such an important moment in your lives. Undoubtedly, the coming months will be a hectic time, as your prepare for your wedding day. 

Your wedding day will be a very special day, and we want to help you prepare for it as much as we can. Because the Church takes marriage so seriously, couples must take time to prepare adequately for this sacred sacrament. St. Ambrose asks that the couple calls the office six months prior to the expectant wedding date to give enough time for the couple to complete the marriage preparation classes and meetings with the clergy. *We highly encourage couples to contact the church first before booking a wedding venue, or making definite wedding plans as 

Here at St. Ambrose, we also require that at least one of you are registered members of St. Ambrose.

To begin your wedding preparation or any further questions,
