MARRIAGE
“For man is created in the image and likeness of God who is himself love.
Since God created him man and woman, their mutual love becomes an image of the absolute
and unfailing love with which God loves man. It is good, very good, in the Creator's eyes.”
-CCC 1604
Dear Newly Engaged:
Congratulations! Marriage is a wonderful institution established by God. It is the joining together of a man and a woman in a lifetime commitment of fidelity, care and support. As such, it should be entered into reverently and carefully.
We are happy that you have chosen to be married at one of the Churches within the St. John Paul II Scioto Catholic Parish. We want to plan with you a wedding service which is both meaningful and appropriate. Please see our Wedding Guidelines and Checklist for Couples for more information.
Sincerely,
Fr. Stephen Smith
Pastor
