Marriage

The Sacrament of Matrimony comes about through a promise made by a man and woman before God and the Church, which is accepted and confirmed by God and consummated by the bodily union of the couple. Because God himself forms the bond of sacramental marriage, it is binding until the death of one of the partners.


  • All Catholics are required to have their marriage witnessed by a priest or deacon unless dispensed.
  • The Archdiocese of Indianapolis requires a six-month window for marriage preparation.
  • Couples should first contact the parish office prior to these six months
