Hi, guys —

My first marriage was annulled by the Church when I was 20 years old. I was remarried 10 years later in the Methodist church. My husband and I have been married 28 years but we have only attended my Church, a Catholic parish occasionally, when I returned to the Church and went to Confession.

  • What can we do to have our marriage blessed?

Sincerely,

Pamela Wooden

Paul replied:

Pamela,

Assuming you are Catholic, if your union in the Methodist church was without a dispensation from the Catholic Church and without the official Catholic witness of a priest or deacon present, it is considered invalid.

Go immediately to your pastor to see if you can have it convalidated. It's more than just a blessing, it's a validation. In the meantime, it would be proper to live as brother and sister until this occurs.

Paul

Hi, Pamela —

Ask your parish priest, he will take care of it.
