Holy Matrimony is a sacramental marriage. Marriage is intended to be a faithful, exclusive, lifelong union of a man and a woman. Godfrey and Paula want to have this faithful, exclusive lifelong union, and their desire will be eventually fulfilled with the grace of the Lord God.
Today, Sunday, June 16th, 2024 during the Golden Jubilee celebration of the Holy Matrimony of Catechist Eliseo Opoka and Mrs. Caroline Opoka at Christ the King Parish Kitgum Fr. Christopher Komakech who is the Parish Priest presented Godfrey and Paula to the Archbishop Emeritus and Apostolic Administrator of Gulu Archdiocese His Grace Dr. John Baptist Odama and made the pronouncement once again the intention of Godfrey and Paula to get wedded at Christ the King Parish Kitgum on Saturday, December 14th, 2024 at Christ the King Parish Kitgum commencing with Holy Mass at 10:00 AM. As the couple greeted the beloved Prelate and had a little chat at the Priest's Residence "Godfrey and Paula will have Archbishop Emeritus Dr. John Baptist Odama as the Chief Witness" for the celebration of their Sacrament of Holy Matrimony as His Grace said that he has to be informed since the date for the celebration is likely to be scheduled on Saturday, December 7th, 2024 because Saturday, December 14th, 2024 will coincide with 50th Priestly Anniversary of His Grace Archbishop Emeritus Dr. John Baptist Odama and Godfrey and Paula are willing to adjust the date to Saturday, December 7th, 2024. The feasible arrangement and organization for the wondrous day is on and it's vital that we join in the preparation and support of our brother Godfrey and His beloved wife Paula as we are left with 181 days to the date for the celebration of the Holy Matrimony.
Godfrey and Paula will have to make the vows for Holy Matrimony before the Holy Catholic Church, the Chief Witness, and the Congregants who will be attending the Holy Mass on that day. They will make the vows beginning with the husband and the wife follows.
The vows: "I, Godfrey, take you, Paula, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part."
"I, Paula, take you, Godfrey, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part."
This part of the vow is key and crucial it will never miss and the couple will have to make the vows.
That day will verily be special for Godfrey and Paula. It will be definitely special uniting with the Lord God in the Holy Eucharist. As relatives, in-laws, and friends of Godfrey and Paula we ask the Gracious Father our God, for His gift of enduring love and presence with Godfrey and Paula now as we desire to celebrate and witness the vows of Holy Matrimony beseeching the Lord God to bless this couple [Godfrey and Paula] and their intentions, their union, their love, and their life together as lovely husband and wife.
