A wedding is a day, a marriage is a lifetime!
For Catholics, marriage is not only a personal covenant; it
is also a sacrament in which God is present in a special way in the lives of the two persons joined with Christ in a union of love. The community of Holy Family extends a
cordial welcome to you who are planning to consecrate your love for one another
in the sacrament of matrimony. It is our privilege to help you prepare for this
special time of joy and spiritual enrichment.
Marriage Preparation Guidelines
The general parish policy is that one party be a registered
parishioner at Holy Family for one year before reserving a wedding date. To begin the
marriage preparation process, call the Pastoral Center
at (626) 799-8908 at least six months before the desired date of marriage.
Wedding Times
Weddings at Holy Family normally take place on Saturdays at 10:30
a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.
Cana Gathering
Information meetings, called “Cana Gatherings,” are held
regularly. The Wedding Coordinator will let you know the date, time, and place
of the meeting. At this gathering, you will receive an information packet
covering details of how to proceed with making wedding arrangements. You will
have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss matters of special interest.
You will also complete a questionnaire and learn about “FOCUS,” an exercise in
communication. A wedding date may not be
set until the couple has attended the “Cana Gathering” and submitted the required
documents.
Church Seminar
Once the wedding date and time are confirmed, the couple
attends the Church Seminar, held in the church on the third Tuesday of each
month at 7:00 p.m. This session focuses on the liturgy itself (readings, music,
environment, etc.).
