Marriage
The Sacrament of Marriage, or Holy Matrimony, is a public sign that one gives oneself totally to this other person. It is also a public statement about God: the loving union of husband and wife speaks of family values and also God’s values. In the vocation of matrimony, husband and wife are called to be an image of how Christ has loved the church.
If you would like more information regarding the sacraments at St. Fortunata, you can call the rectory at (718) 647-2632 or submit an email inquiry, and you will be contacted by a member of the parish staff. Thank you for your interest.
