Catholic Marriage

Marriage, also called Matrimony, is one of the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church. It is understood as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman, ordered toward the good of the spouses and the welcoming and raising of children.

This collection includes news, features and columns about Catholic teaching on marriage, pastoral guidance, preparation, divorce and annulments, and the lived experiences of married couples in the Diocese of Rochester. The Catholic Courier also recognizes couples celebrating milestone anniversaries, including 25, 50 or more years of marriage.
