Matrimony

On December 30, 2016, Catholic Dioceses around the United States welcomed the revised marriage rite, "The Order of Celebrating Matrimony".  The new rite is faithful to the translation of the Roman Missal, inclusive of cultural rituals, and places greater emphasis on the communitarian nature of the Sacrament.  Through the addition of new Scripture text and additional prayer options, the rite invites the couple to be married to share in the planning  of  their wedding liturgy.

To assist both the clergy, wedding planners and the faithful, The Office for Divine Worship has developed numerous resources to assist in the planning of this once in a lifetime event. All forms can be downloaded, personalized and are printable.
