Planning your wedding day is important, of course. We will be happy to answer any questions about having a Catholic wedding.
Weddings are performed in all four of our churches. Each site is handicapped accessible and has plenty of parking. Holy Martyrs in Falmouth offers livestreaming so that those who cannot attend in person can enjoy the ceremony online. If you wish to have the reception at the church, all four churches have halls that can hold up to 100 guests, along with full kitchens.
Call our office at (207) 847-6890 to check on dates and to ask any further questions about our churches.
The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament.
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1601
The wedding day is important, of course. Far more important is preparing for your married life. A happy and lasting marriage begins with romance but lasts through real love and devotion, a love which includes God as the third partner. That's why the Church strongly encourages deep reflection and open communication about the sacramental meaning of marriage. One of the important ministries of our priests and deacon is to help and guide the couple through this preparation.
We ask that you call the office at least 6 months in advance to schedule a meeting.
