The Diocese of California American Catholic
Church is a self-governing Catholic jurisdiction providing the
Sacrament of Marriage to all who call upon us within the
Christian framework. We serve everyone who seeks a meaningful
ceremony that captures the imagination on your special day of
commitment. We open our arms to all in
the service of God.
We realize the ever increasing trend toward wedding services that respect and express
the feelings of brides and grooms,
and therefore we place no undue burdens upon
couples. Our clergy are able to officiate at weddings in the
venue of
your choice whether that be in a church, a hotel, in a winery, country
club, on a beach, near the ocean, or in the backyard of a friend
or relative.
Our experience is that as a
couple you want a ceremony which reflects who you are - your values and dreams
and we will take time to discuss the many options that are
available to you to make your wedding
an exceptional, joyous, personal, and memorable ceremony.
We are sensitive to the often delicate issues of inter-faith
marriages, and will help
you overcome the stresses of your wedding day. We solemnize vows within the context of
who you are and the Catholic faith tradition, mindful of all in the wedding. We have used rites
specific to the Filipino and Hispanic cultures (coins, rope, and
veil). We also solemnize vows within
the context of our Catholic faith tradition in personally
designed ceremonies. We are open minded and we are able to meet
your specific needs and desires to solemnize your Ctholic
wedding vows, for any couple whether they be of the opposite or
same gender.
We suggest as a couple you meet with the
officiating clergy person at least once.
During this meeting, you and the clergy
person will have the opportunity to get to know each other and
discuss the wedding ceremony and other pertinent details
surrounding it. We generally present you with packet of
information regarding their ceremony. There are no required
classes to have our clergy solemnize you
vows. Our clergy attempt to work with
all budgets without making this an obstacle to the ceremony and
are willing to answer any questions about
ceremonial dynamics and theology.
