MATRIOMONIAL (WEDDINGS)
The sacrament of matrimony is a union between a man and a woman in face of God and of the community. As with other Catholic churches, the parish gives the sacrament of matrimony to legible couples who wish to start their lives as husbands and wives.
Barasoain Church is considered the “San Agustin Church” of Bulacan because, similar to San Agustin Church in Manila, many couples wish to be married here. These aspiring couples came from the different parts of the Philippines and there are also home-comers from overseas who marry in the church.
