Archdiocesan policy requires registered parish couples to contact the Parish at least six months prior to the date of the marriage in order to complete the compulsory marriage preparation program.
As your parish community, we welcome the opportunity to help you prepare for marriage and will assist you in each step.
Here you will find the parish brochure with details of the Marriage Preparation Policy for the Archdiocese of San Francisco for viewing, or downloading and printing. This process will help you prepare not just for your wedding day, but for your entire married life together.
Please call the parish office at 415-435-1122.
IF YOU ARE NOT CATHOLIC and are simply looking for a lovely place to exchange your wedding vows here in Tiburon, you may want to contact "Old Saint Hilary's," which is not affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. Please note that no Catholic weddings are permitted at Old Saint Hilary's. Check their website at: http://www.landmarks-society.org/
Catechism of the Catholic Church crystallizing the teaching on marriage, proclaims: God himself is the author of marriage. The vocation to marriage is written in the very nature of man and woman as they came from the hand of the Creator. Marriage is not a purely human institution despite the many variations it may have undergone through the centuries in different cultures, social structures, and spiritual attitudes. The well-being of the individual person and of both human and Christian society is closely bound up with the healthy state of conjugal and family life.
A worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend can help you enrich your marriage and add some pizazz to your journey. Whether you've been married one year or fifty, a Marriage Encounter Weekend may be just the thing you need to put a breath of fresh air into your relationship.
A Marriage Encounter weekend is a positive, simple, common sense private experience between husband and wife that revitalizes marriage. A Weekend renews the romance and excitement you experienced during your dating days.
