Congratulations on your engagement!
A wedding is one of those rare moments in life when
you gather with all the people you cherish and, in doing so, express
what it means to be in love. Consequently, your
marriage is much more than the exchange of vows and rings.
It is a sacramental union ritualized with symbols,
music, family, friends, and the rich traditions of the Church.
One party must be a baptized Catholic, registered at
Holy Angels for a minimum of six months before reserving a wedding
date, and should also be attending weekly Mass at Holy Angels.
Before any plans are made, couples must make
arrangements through one of our priests at least six
months prior to their proposed wedding
day.
Please call the Church Office at (626) 447-1671 to make an appointment
with one
of our priests. No wedding date will be reserved
until the couple
has met with one of our priests.
Your priest will give you important information
about marriage preparation programs, wedding procedures, and
requirements. He will be happy to answer any
questions you may have. Be sure to call and make
this appointment as soon as possible! We want to
assist you as you prepare for one of the most wonderful experiences of
human life: celebrating your love in marriage and God's presence in
your lives.
We speak of marriage as a
Sacrament. Our faith tells us, "God is Love."
By your being in love, God dwells with you.
We believe that the love you share in marriage is a
sign to all of the presence of God in your union as a married couple.
