Matrimony is the sacrament by which a man and woman bind themselves for life in a lawful marriage and receive the grace to discharge their duties.
A man and woman wishing to marry should prepare themselves to receive the sacrament through prayer, leading a Christian life (excludes living together before marriage) and through the celebration of the sacraments of Penance and Holy Eucharist.
A man and woman wishing to marry need to present themselves to a bishop, priest or deacon who will help them prepare for their celebration of the sacrament. The sacrament of Matrimony is usually celebrated within Mass.
The Lincoln Diocese has a 6-8 month preparation program. Please call the parish office 402-423-1239 to schedule an appointment if you are considering getting married or having your marriage con-validated (civil marriage or marriage outside the Catholic Church) at St. Peter Church.
