A Covenant of Sacrificial Love
Marriage is a sacred promise—where a man and woman mirror Christ’s love for His Church, forming a family and witnessing to Gospel love.
About Marriage
Marriage is more than a ceremony. It’s a sacrament—a sacred, unbreakable covenant in which a man and woman are joined by God to become one flesh, one mission, one shared path to holiness.
Jesus Christ Himself blesses and sustains this union. He rejoices in your joy. He strengthens your vows. He is the heart of your love.
The Avon Catholic Community is honored to walk with you as you prepare to enter this lifelong vocation.
Preparing for the Marriage
Congratulations on your engagement! We can’t wait to walk this road with you as you journey towards your wedding day.
To reserve a date and begin the preparation process, please contact Rev. Vincent Hawk, Pastor, at least six months prior to the intended wedding date. This allows us to provide the personal, pastoral preparation your sacrament deserves.
Couples are required to attend a Marriage preparation retreat such as Pre-Cana, Cana II or PREP, and to complete the Prepare-Enrich online pre-marital inventory.
