Q: What is the sacrament of Catholic Matrimony?

A: The Sacrament of Matrimony is the Sacrament that unites a Christian man and woman in lawful marriage. The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament.

​Here at St. John's Cathedral, we endeavor to assist those who are seeking to be married in the Catholic Church with marriage preparation, the actual marriage ceremony, and also to support those who are seeking to continue enriching their marriage. 

Requesting to be married here. The day/times are Saturdays: 10:30AM or 1PM. In some cases, weddings are also a possibility on another day if some other parish event has not been previously scheduled. We are an active parish, so NO weddings scheduled on Sundays, Holy Days of Obligation, during Advent, Lent & Holy Week, or other designated days. Requests must be submitted at least six months before the desired wedding date. Please contact the parish office at 208-342-3511 or boisecathedral@gmail.com for possible openings. The calendar changes often; dates are only scheduled and confirmed once all documentation and non-refundable down payment are received and the interested parties have met with the Pastoral Associate to discuss Cathedral dates and assign clergy.
