Marriage, in the Roman Catholic Church, is the covenant by which a man and woman establish a partnership of the whole life and which is ordered by its nature to the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring.

Catholic couples who are planning to marry must first complete their pre-cana coursework.

If you are interested in marrying at St. Francis Xavier or Our Lady of the Lake, please contact the rectory at 845-252-6681, to speak with Fr. Dennis at least 6 months in advance.
