Congratulations on your engagement!
We are delighted to help you prepare for the celebration of the Sacrament of Marriage.
Marriage is a sacred covenant in which a man and a woman are united by God in a lifelong bond of faithful, life-giving love. Through this sacrament, a couple responds to God’s call to build a family and become a living sign of Christ’s love for the Church.
The marriage preparation process normally requires about 4-6 months before your desired wedding date in our parish or at another parish anywhere in the world.
The first step is meet with one of the priests. Please fill out the information form below via Google Forms or emailing the PDF to parishoffice@sp-apostle.org.

The marriage preparation process includes several meetings with a priests and a Marriage Preparation Course offered by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. It is an 8-hour course and is sometimes called ‘Pre-Cana’ in reference to the miracle of water into wine in John’s Gospel. For more information about the course and how to register, visit the link below.

We ask for a donation to help support the ministry of our parish community: $250 for the Marriage Preparation Process and $500 for the wedding if it’s held in our parish.
When we receive your information, one of the priests will contact you and arrange a meeting.
We will be happy to accompany you as you prepare for this joyful and sacred day.
