Congratulations on your engagement! We know that this is a very happy, exciting and busy time. The information provided below should help to answer some of the questions which you may have regarding the celebration of the Sacrament of Marriage here at St. Angela Merici Church.

The decision to marry is a lifelong commitment to one another and to the faith community of the Church. Those who enter this covenant relationship that is permanent, exclusive and open to life must give careful consideration. Marriage Preparation Programs for the Engaged are designed  to deepen a couple’s awareness of the challenges of living together in Christian marriage. Through discussions, exercises and presentations by married couples, participants are enabled to recall the richness of their own experiences.

Marriage Preparation

You cannot set a date for your marriage until you have met with one of our priests or deacons. As you meet with him, you will gather documents and fill out paperwork which becomes your marriage preparation file. You will be asked to choose one of the marriage preparation program options available through the Diocese of Orange. Upon completion of that program, you will be given a certificate which should be presented to the priest or deacon.

For more information please call the Parish Center Office at 714.529.1821.
