Christian marriage is a solemn and public covenant in the presence of God. As such, marriage is a sacrament of the church. A marriage ceremony must be attested to by two witnesses, and must conform to the laws of Maryland and the canons of this church.
When a couple decides to be married, they should contact Father John Schaeffer to discuss their plans before any other arrangements are made. At least thirty days advance notice is required. No final decision about solemnization of the marriage in the church can be made until the couple and clergy have met at least once. To contact Fr. John please call the church office or email him at: fatherjohn@stmaryanne.org.
