St. Thérèse Wedding Guide Lines

Who may marry in our Parish Church?

How and when is the date set?

In the Diocese of San Diego, couples are expected to contact the priest or deacon who will prepare them for marriage at least nine months prior to the date they hope to celebrate their wedding. This time is important in order to complete the necessary pre-marital preparations and to develop a relationship with the priest or deacon who will assist you with your preparations and/or preside at your wedding celebration. Arrangements for setting the date and time of marriage cannot be made until you have met with the priest/deacon who will conduct the wedding ceremony. It is the responsibility of the engaged couple to secure a tentative date with the church before making commitments with caterers, reception halls, etc. Only the pastor or a designated member of the parish staff may book a tentative date.
