“For this reason a man shall leave [his] father
and [his] mother and be joined to his wife,
and the two shall become one flesh.”
The perfect love that should exist between spouses demands total self sacrifice and absolute commitment. However, this beautiful ideal is humanly impossible. Therefore, Jesus instituted the Sacrament of Matrimony in which he gives spouses the capacity to love in a way that would be otherwise impossible. In this Sacrament Jesus strengthens the bond of marriage so that in their mutual love spouses welcome children and educate them in holiness. In this way they become a reflection of Jesus' love for the Church.

Our wedding coordinator is available to answer any questions you may have as you prepare to celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony at Divine Mercy Parish. She will be present at your rehearsal to walk you and your bridal party through the entire ceremony – as well as to help you organize the procession of the wedding party. Our wedding coordinator will also be at the Church the day of your wedding to prepare the Church for the Nuptial Mass, put out any programs you may have, and help pin the boutonnieres on the groomsmen. She will be there to ensure that all your guests are seated before the bridal party is welcomed into the vestibule of the Church. Our coordinator will also ensure that the bridal party is in place for the procession and will stay for the entire Mass to assist with any logistical needs.
