Marriage
Weddings are special
and joyful times for brides and grooms, for their families and
friends, and for the parish community. The church welcomes its
members to celebrate and solemnize their weddings in the context
of our prayers as Christians. Indeed, so important is marriage
in Christian life that it is called a sacrament -- a visible
sign of Christ's love.
To be married in the Catholic
Church means far more than to have the wedding ceremony in a
church building. Married life is seen in the context of the faith
community. To be married in the Church means that two individuals
are joined together in a lasting covenant of love, living their
dependence upon God's grace all their lives.
The many pressures facing marriage and family today require the Christian Community to help our engaged couples prepare for and sustain a life together, a life that is sacramental in character and attitude. During the months before your wedding, the community of Immaculate Conception Parish will pray for the deepening and strengthening of your love relationship and for your continual spritual growth.
As your prepare for your
marriage, please give consideration to the items contained in
our "Celebrating Marriage" brochure, which you will
receive from the Parish Office (781-324-4941). We will be happy
to discuss any questions you might have about celebrating your
marriage in Immaculate Conception Church. We assure you a special
remembrance in our prayers as you prepare to celebrate your love
for each other in the Sacrament of Marriage.
