Catholic-Protestant Wedding



Dear Catholic Exchange:

Our son is engaged to marry a girl that is from a different faith than ours. She is Episcopal in her faith.

We were wondering if they get married in that church, what does our son need to do to get the Catholic faith to recognize there marriage?

Mr. Rellinger

Dear Mr. Rellinger,

Peace in Christ!

For information on Catholic-Protestant weddings and what is required for the Church to recognize your son’s marriage, including whether the wedding ceremony can take place at a non-Catholic church, please see our Faith Fact Catholic-Protestant Weddings.
