The Sacrament of Marriage is a covenant, which is more than a contract. Covenant always expresses a relationship between persons. The marriage covenant refers to the relationship between the husband and wife, a permanent union of persons capable of knowing and loving each other and God. The celebration of marriage is also a liturgical act, appropriately held in a public liturgy at church. Catholics are urged to celebrate their marriage within the Eucharistic Liturgy.
~ From the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults
All Catholics must be married in the Catholic Church. Parish policy requires that couples preparing for marriage contact the pastor at least 6 months prior to the intended wedding date. Contact the parish office at (405) 263-7930 to schedule a meeting with the pastor.
