The vocation to marriage is written in the very nature of man and woman as they came form the hand of the Creator. Marriage is not a purely human institution despite the many variations it may have undergone through the centuries in different cultures, social structures and spiritual attitudes.  -- Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 1603.

Those wishing to receive this beautiful sacrament of the Church are invited to contact Fr. Bob a minimum six months prior to the date of the wedding.
