Unless they requested and received a dispensation from canonical form, Catholics who exchange marriage vows in the presence of only ministers from other religious traditions or authorized civic officials are not considered validly married in the eyes of the Catholic Church. Later, those couples may seek to have their union officially recognized by the Church. In technical Church terms, this is known as convalidation of a marriage. If you are in this situation and want to find out more about the This program includes a discussion of the mission and purpose of marriage preparation, an introduction to the sacrament of marriage, guest speakers and recommendations for resources to use with engaged couples convalidation process we kindly ask you to approach one of the parish Deacons or Fr.
