Marriage

Congratulations on your engagement! Your decision to enter into the relationship of marriage is a wonderful sign of hope and strength to the faith community of Santa Maria. You have reached your decision after much discussion and prayerful thought, but that is just the first step in the process of building a successful marriage. With your family and friends, you will be sharing your commitment with the broader community and become for us a sign and symbol of God's great love for the human family.

The process of Marriage Preparation at Santa Maria is two-fold:

The Diocese of Oakland has programs to help you prepare for married life, and these provide a valuable opportunity to focus on various aspects of married life - which will soon be the rest of your life!

We will help you prepare for the celebration of your wedding day. A member of our Pastoral Team will guide you through the timeline, documents, and marriage liturgy itself.
