Marriage

“The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament.”
— Catechism of the Catholic Church 1601

Preparing for the Sacrament of Marriage

​

The Isanti Area Catholic Community is delighted to accompany couples as they prepare to receive the Sacrament of Marriage. This sacred covenant is a lifelong partnership grounded in love, faith, and mutual support.

​

To help make your wedding planning smooth and meaningful, the parish requires:

​

• Six months advance notice before your desired wedding date

• Participation in a recognized marriage preparation course

• A pre-nuptial interview with Fr. Peter or a parish representative

These steps are designed to prepare you spiritually and practically for the gift and responsibility of marriage.

What Marriage Means in the Catholic Faith

​

Marriage is more than a ceremony — it is a covenant blessed by God that reflects His love for the Church. Through this sacrament, couples receive grace to build a loving family rooted in faith and open to the gift of life.
