“A man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh.”
Mark 10:7-8
In a sacramental marriage, God’s love becomes present to the spouses in their total union and also flows through them to their family and community. The sacrament of Christian marriage involves their entire life as they journey together and become more able to give to and receive from each other. Their life becomes sacramental to the extent that the couple cooperates with God’s action in their life and sees themselves as living “in Christ” and Christ living and acting in their relationship, attitudes, and actions.
Getting Married at St. Ignatius
JUST ENGAGED?
Congratulations! If you are interested in getting married at St. Ignatius, please contact the Parish Office as soon as possible. The Archdiocese of Denver requires a minimum eight-month preparation period before a wedding. The marriage preparation process is designed not just to prepare a beautiful wedding day, but to build a Christ-centered marriage that will last till death do us part.
If you get married at another parish, you can still go through marriage prep at St. Ignatius! We would be honored to walk with you through your preparation process. Contact the parish office to get started.
