Christian Initiation

Are you thinking about becoming a Catholic?

The Catholic Church welcomes your interest in Faith! We will prepare you for the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Communion!

Are you looking for a church to call your own?

Do you struggle with questions about life-death-suffering- hope-forgiveness-love-God?

Christian Initiation is primarily about conversion and the ways in which we come to know the good news of the Gospel and how it applies to our everyday life. All are welcome to begin this journey of conversation and to fall in love with Christ. Join us at Guardian Angels, we are here for you! For information: email Tammy, faithformation@guardianangelssantee.org or call 619-596-3282.

For adults 18 and older who wish to know about Jesus and the Catholic Faith. Inquiry is drop-in style. Please join us following the 8:30AM or 10AM Mass for a short inquiry session with testimony and questions answered so you can begin your journey to the Catholic Faith. If you miss the Inquiry Sessions, please email Tammy, faithformation@guardianangelssantee.org or call 619-596-3282.

Sacrament of Holy Matrimony

Interested in Marriage in the Catholic Church?

Would you like to be married in the Catholic Church? Are you interested in receiving the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony? Are you civilly married and would like your marriage recognized (convalidated) by the Catholic Church? Do you have questions about a previous marriage? Whatever your situation, we are here to help.

Guardian Angels offers opportunities for couples to prepare for and celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony through either a group celebration or a private ceremony. Whether you are planning a new marriage in the Church or seeking convalidation of an existing civil marriage, we are here to accompany you through the preparation process.
