Congratulations on your engagement! 
We rejoice to see and to share in your love for each other and your commitment to prepare for a life lived together in this holy sacrament.
In the Sacrament of Matrimony, you will be given a special grace and will take on a new vocation in which you become an image of God’s love for his people.
As you prepare to enter into this lifelong partnership, we look forward to assisting you in the task of forming the most loving Christian relationship possible, one in which you both can have confidence. Preparation for marriage should begin at least six months prior to the desired wedding date so couples may participate in pre-marriage preparation and counseling.
For more information you may contact Fr. Sal Stefula, T.O.R, at 813-839-5337 ext. 115 or by email at sstefula@stpatricktampa.org.
