Marriage

‘The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament.’ CCC 1601

Please call the office at least one year prior to the wedding. The couple must attend a mandatory orientation session the third Thursday of March or September at 7:00 p.m. Must call the office to register for the orientation class at 210-688-9033.

There are three class components:

  1. A weekend Marriage Retreat (Saturday/Sunday) through the Archdiocese that is offered throughout the year.
  2. Natural Family Planning Classes – held on Sunday afternoons, once a month, for three months at our Parish.
  3. Christ-Centered Marriage Preparation Classes – hold on the first three Monday nights of May and November at our Parish.

After completion of the retreat and classes, there is also required documentation:

  1. Baptized Catholics will need to submit a current Baptism certificate, not dated older than six months or one year from the current date
  2. Marriage candidates will also need to submit copies of any previous:
    • Marriages
    • Annulments
