Married by Validation...making a civil marriage into a sacramental one The Catholic Church does not recognize a marriage ceremony of a Catho-lic before a civil authority or Protestant minister (or without proper dis-pensation) to be a true marriage. To be valid, the marriage of a Catholic must take place in the presence of a Catholic bishop, priest or deacon. A marriage Validation sometimes referred to as getting your marriage "blessed" or convalidated fixes the problem of a Catholic in an invalid marriage. Catholics married outside the Catholic Church may not receive Holy Communion. The Validation is a true and complete wedding ceremo-ny — the Sacrament of Matrimony. To have your marriage Validated, see the priest with whom you feel com-fortable. The process does require appropriate marriage preparation. We can assist, if someone has a previous marriage to petition, with petitioning for a declaration of nullity. A group validation is being planned with the Bishop Larry Silva for next February, 11, 2017. If you are interested please contact the parish Office soon. If you are married to a non-Catholic who refuses to participate in a new marriage ceremony in the Catholic Church, please inquire about the possi-bility of a validation by “radical sanation." Thanks to L. Benoit, Patrick. Downes and Rev. Father Mark Gantley for the information presented in the Hawaii Catholic Herald and discussions on validations
