A covenant or partnership of life between a man and woman, which is ordered to well-being of the spouses and to the procreation and upbringing of children. When validly contracted between two baptized people, marriage is a sacrament.
(Catechism of the Catholic Church, p. 887) -

Either the bride or groom or both must be Catholic
Both parties must be free to marry in the Catholic ChurchCou
ples must have known each other for at least 6 months
One or both parties must reside within parish boundaries and/or be registered as a parishioner and attending Mass at Our Lady of Angels for at least 3 months before beginning marriage preparation.
Solid preparation for the Sacrament of Marriage takes time. Whether you are planning to marry at Our Lady of Angels or to do your marriage preparation here, we ask you to contact us at least EIGHT (8) months before your desired wedding date. If you are planning to marry outside the U.S., please let us know since this requires a different timeline.
