Shout joyfully to God, all the earth, sing praise to the glory of his name; proclaim his glorious praise. Say to God, How tremendous are your deeds! Let all on earth worship and sing praise to you, sing praise to your name! Come and see the works of God, his tremendous deeds among the children of Adam. He has changed the sea into dry land; through the river they passed on foot; therefore let us rejoice in him. He rules by his might forever. Hear now, all you who fear God, while I declare what he has done for me. Blessed be God who refused me not my prayer or his kindness! ~psalm 66

Considering Marriage? 

At Saint Kateri Parish, we are happy to assist engaged couples seeking marriage.

The Roman Catholic Church recognizes the marriage between two eligible Christians as a sacrament established by Christ himself. In this beautiful sacrament, a man and woman enter into a covenant relationship with God and each other in the Catholic Church. This relationship is the means through which the couple grows together in holiness. 

Wedding Guidelines:

The engaged couple desiring marriage needs to contact the church office for an in-person appointment, normally about six months ahead of time. 

After determining eligibility for marriage and information is collected, a date that the church is available will be established so that you can then plan the wedding venue.

We look forward to hearing from you!
