Marriage

                         

Sacred Scripture begins with the creation and union of man and woman and ends with "the wedding feast of the Lamb" (Rev 19:7, 9). Scripture often refers to marriage, its origin and purpose, the meaning God gave to it, and its renewal in the covenant made by Jesus with his Church.

By their marriage, the couple witnesses Christ's spousal love for the Church. One of the Nuptial Blessings in the liturgical celebration of marriage refers to this in saying, "Father, you have made the union of man and wife so holy a mystery that it symbolizes the marriage of Christ and his Church."

At St. Benedict, Saturday afternoon/evening ceremony times are possible, we do not have a Saturday evening vigil Mass. 

For marriage preparation, please contact Marti Lundberg at the parish office to begin the process, 206-632-0843 or m.lundberg@stbens.net. Our next scheduled day is May 7th!
