BANNS OF MARRIAGE PDF Print E-mail
BANNS OF MARRIAGE - The public announcement of the names of persons intending marriage. The object of their publication in church is to discover impediments, to avoid secret marriages, and to give interested parties an opportunity to intervene if they have reasons to do so. Banns are usually announced in church three successive times.
 

The Sayings of the Fathers

Let us love silence till the world is made to die in our hearts. Let us always remember death, and in this thought draw near to God in our heart - - and the pleasures of this world will have our scorn. - Pearls from Saint Isaac of Syria
