q By divine institution,
Christian Matrimony is:
1) The permanent,
2) Covenant of love,
3) Between a qualified
man and woman,
12. ERROR: The Matrimony is invalid when one party has married a
different person from the one he intended; or when the party was
mistaken about an important quality of the other party which was
directly and principally intended for the Marriage.
13. DECEIT: The Marriage is invalid when one of the parties was
deceived concerning some quality of the other party, which of its
very nature can seriously disrupt the partnership of conjugal life.
q The model of
the Domestic
Church is the
Holy Family of
Nazareth, where
Jesus, Mary and
Joseph lived in
perfect harmony
among
themselves,
with God and
with their
neighbors.
2. BAPTISMAL CERTIFICATE: To be requested from the Parishes where the two parties were
baptized; it lasts only for six months and must have the annotation: “For Marriage Purposes.”
3. CONFIRMATION CERTIFICATE: To be requested from the Church where the two parties were
confirmed; if they were not yet confirmed, they may do so in any Catholic Church of their choice.
5. MARRIAGE BANNS: These are public announcements of the incoming Marriage to be posted for
three consecutive weeks at the Church where the Rite will take place, and at the Parishes where
the fiancées were baptized.
6. PRE-CANA SEMINAR: The couple shall attend a seminar in preparation for Marriage, either in
the Church where the Marriage will take place or elsewhere, where they must obtain a Pre-cana
Certificate.
7. CONFESSION: In order to celebrate the Sacrament of Matrimony in the state of grace, and to
properly receive Holy Communion, the couple ought to make a good Confession before the
Wedding Ceremony.
