“Why can’t I get married later than 3 pm on a Saturday?” This issue has come up a few times lately. The Church prohibits the celebration of marriages in a Sunday. Since our first ‘Sunday Mass’ is celebrated Saturdays at 5 pm. in Sheenboro each week, having a marriage celebration any later than 3 pm. would violate this Church law. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to speak to Fr. Tim for a more detailed explanation.
