The Church believes that the sacred union of husband and wife is itself a sacrament and acknowledges God's unconditional love and presence in their relationship. The couple is assured of God's graces as they face the struggles and joys of a lifelong journey of faith together. Because the Catholic Church puts a high value on marriage and wants people to have successful marriages that bring them happiness and joy, it believes that marriage should not be entered into lightly.
The wedding liturgy and preparation for marriage are to take place in a parish in which at least one person of the couple is resident. They must contact their parish a minimum of six months prior to the anticipated date of the wedding. Please contact a priest through our parish office. (714-522-2193)
VALIDATION OF A MARRIAGE If a couple has married outside the Church and now wishes to have their marriage validated, their understanding and appreciation of the Sacrament they are entering will be deepened through marriage preparation. Please contact a priest through our parish office. (714-522-2193)
