Is our Marriage Recognized by the Church?
Like other couples in your parish or family, you may be wondering if your marriage is fully recognized by the Catholic Church. Catholic Church law ordinarily requires baptized Roman Catholics to marry before a priest or deacon. Unless they received a “dispensation from canonical form,” Catholics who exchange vows in the presence of ministers from other religious traditions or civil officials are not considered validly married in the eyes of the Catholic Church.
Regardless of what happened in the past, the Catholic Church welcomes you to bring God’s grace into your lives through a sacramental marriage. Read on and/or complete this simple form to begin this beautiful process, called Convalidation, an invitation for you to share in all that God intends for you in the blessings of marriage.Read some FAQ’s about Convalidation
