Recent Question:
I'm a recently engaged Catholic. My fiance was raised Catholic and recently stepped away from the Church. He is studying the Buddhist faith. He agrees that if children are involved they will be raised Catholic. My question is though. . . can we have our wedding in a Catholic church?
Father John Answers:
The answer is yes, so long as there are no impediments to the marriage. Speak to your local priest to discuss marriage preparation.
