It requires the presence of a priest or deacon, a bride and a groom, and two witnesses. In this Sacrament, the bride and groom are the real ministers because it is their mutual &#8220;I do&#8221; that makes them husband and wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sacrament of Marriage is a covenant, which is more than a contract. Covenant always expresses a relationship between persons. 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. The celebration of marriage is also a liturgical act, appropriately held in a public liturgy at church. Catholics are urged to celebrate their marriage within the Eucharistic Liturgy. ~from the <a href=\"http:\/\/ccc.usccb.org\/flipbooks\/uscca\/#304\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">United States Catholic Catechism for Adults<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our church facility is reserved for those who are registered members of our parish, or children or grandchildren of registered parish families.
