Ways to Support Marriage
SUPPORTING ENGAGED COUPLES
Couples wishing to celebrate the Sacrament of Matrimony require a minimum of 6 months of preparation. During these months the couple will meet with the priest to discuss marriage itself and how they can live it out more fully; they will participate in Engaged Encounter and also FOCUSS.
We can all help by offering prayers, positive comments about marriage, and also consider becoming part of the Engaged Encounter Team (see below).
Couples preparing for Matrimony:
- Miguel Patricio & Angelina Santiago
- Kyle Sullivan and Kayla Herrera
- Herbert Santos III and Amy Justin
- Brandon Biggs & Danielle Donatelli
- Harrison Murray & Stacy Kalt
- Lucio Alvarez-Padilla & Alyssa Miller
- Alfredo Barbosa-Guerra & Monica Perera Ruvalcaba
- John Sturtz & Mary Claire DeBord
- Erica Trovato & Apambire Nyaaba
SUPPORTING MARRIED COUPLES
A wedding is for a day, a Marriage is for a lifetime.
Couples still need support and affirmation as they navigate the transition into married life and into parenthood. At OLS we have ARC ministry which is a group of households 30’s – 50’s, who meet for social, spiritual and service activities.
We also want to grow this support, so please stay tuned to opportunities to minister and assist.
Those couples who celebrated the Sacrament this past year:
- George Viveros & Maira Martinez 12/1/23
- John Knobel & Gianna Rogers 1/20/24
