Sacrament of Marriage

If you are visiting this page as a newly engaged couple, Congratulations! We rejoice with you as you prepare to enter into the sacrament of Holy Matrimony. Please know that you will be kept in our prayers.

Every engaged couple, like the two of you, has concerns for the future. You also have goals, promises, and dreams you wish to attain. The priest and your parish community want to help you prepare to meet those goals, keep those promises, and live out your dreams well equipped to face the pressures placed on married living today.

Your wedding day will take a great deal of planning, and we are here to help you and answer any questions you might have. We are happy that you are considering St. Mary Church for the celebration of your marriage.

If you are Catholic who is a registered parishioner of St. Mary Church, or if your parents are registered at St. Mary Church you are encouraged to celebrate your wedding here! Church arrangements for wedding must be made at least one year prior to the wedding. We strongly advise making arrangements with the Church before signing contracts for reception plans.

Please contact the Parish Office for more information: 925-891-8900 or email william@stmary-wc.org to setup a meeting with Fr. William Rosario.  This initial meeting will cover all the necessary "paperwork" and will secure your wedding date on the Church calendar if everything is in order. Congratulations!
