Congratulations on your Engagement!  This is a special and unique time for you, your families, friends, and your entire parish community.  This is a time of new beginnings, love, promises, and hope.  We, the Kenosha-Racine County Line Catholic Parishes are blessed and encouraged by your willingness to make this permanent commitment of life and love to each other at the Alter of God. 

Your wedding celebration will be a grace-filled and special moment in your lives.  The Church invites you to celebrate your wedding in the context of Christian Prayer.  Indeed, so important is marriage in Christian Life that it has been instituted by Christ as a Sacrament.

"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. (CCC1601)

Great care is taken to see that the prayer for this special moment is reverent, graceful, beautiful, and open to the moment of God's Spirit among us.  As much care should be taken in planning and preparing for the liturgy as is taken for planning all the other aspects of your wedding. Our celebration of the Sacraments is always rooted in listening to the Sacred Scriptures so we can be nourished and strengthened by God's Word. 

May God Bless You during this special time of reflection and preparation.
