GUIDELINES
FOR NON-PARISHIONER MARRIAGES
AT ST. PETER'S CHURCH, BANDRA
(To be revised in 2011)

  1. Non-Parishioner marriages are allowed at St. Peter’s only if: 1. They are ex-parishioners; 2. They are closely connected with our Church/School  or  3. There is some special reason for which they want to have their marriage celebrated here.
  2. Timings for weddings at St. Peter’s Church:  Mondays to Fridays: 4:15 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. (Except First Fridays: 4:45 p.m.) Saturdays: 4:00 and 5:15  p.m. Sunday:  3:45 p.m.  Non- Parishioners are not allowed to celebrate their Marriages here at our Scheduled Sunday Masses.
  3. Please Note : No Single Couple Weddings Are Guaranteed at Peter’s.
  4. We would require:
    a.         A ‘No Objection’ Letter  from the Girls parish even before booking the Mass here. The letter should also state the reason why you would like to celebrate the marriage here.  See that your mass is entered the Church Mass register at the parish office as soon the parish priest of St Peters gives you permission to do so. 
    b.         That you get your own priest, (or request a priest at Peters personally) to celebrate the Mass unless we have a parishioner celebrating their marriage at the same mass.
    c.         That all the Marriage Paper work is done by your own parish and sent to our Church at least a week before the marriage.
    d.         That you discuss & finalise the Liturgy with the priest celebrating your marriage, following the general guidelines for marriages in the Archdiocese of Bombay.
    Discuss your flower arrangement etc with our Sacristan, Stephen
    ( Weekdays:  6 a.m. – 9 a.m. & 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. Sundays: 6 a.m. – 11 a.m. & 5 p.m. – 7 p.m.).
  5. If your marriage is a ‘Disparity of Cult marriage’, (that is Catholic with Non Christian) we will  allow you to book a Mass only 3 months within the date of marriage.   
  6. Once you have gone through these guidelines & the guidelines for St. Peters Church parishioners you may fix an appointment to meet the parish priest. (2643 3098; 26409158; 2643 1200; 2645 9474)
