Living with significant other * This field is required.Today, nearly fifty percent of couples seeking marriage preparation within the Catholic Church are currently living together in a cohabiting arrangement. Cohabitation, in its most widely accepted definition, refers to a situation where two individuals share a living space and engage in a sexual relationship without the formal commitment of marriage. This type of relationship can encompass a range of physical and emotional connections, yet it often misrepresents the true essence of a marital bond. In a sacramental marriage, the sexual relationship is intended to symbolize a complete and unconditional gift of oneself, characterized by fidelity, exclusivity, and permanence. (USCCB) Engaging in cohabitation may result in a delay of the sacraments until a Catholic marriage ceremony has taken place. To ensure clarity regarding this requirement, please indicate your understanding by marking YES; if you have any uncertainties, please mark NO, and we will reach out to provide further information.

15

Civil Marriage* This field is required.If you are currently in a civil marriage, the first step towards receiving the sacraments is to undergo a Catholic convalidation of your marriage. This process recognizes your civil union within the framework of the Catholic Church, allowing it to be celebrated as a sacramental marriage. Once this convalidation is completed, you will then be eligible to participate in the sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation. These sacraments are significant milestones in the Catholic faith, marking a deepening of your relationship with God and the Church. It is essential to engage with your parish priest or a designated church representative to understand the specific requirements and preparation needed for these sacraments, ensuring that you are fully prepared to embrace this important spiritual journey. You can start the process of taking the formation classes as you embark on your marriage preparation. To ensure clarity regarding this requirement, please indicate your understanding by marking YES; if you have any uncertainties, please mark NO, and we will reach out to provide further information.
