  Marriage and Reception of Confirmation
 
Please note : Individuals must be in a proper state of grace before they can receive the sacrament of Confirmation, which means if married, must be in a marriage formally recognized by the Catholic Church.  For example: A Catholic married by a Justice of the Peace or other non-Catholic officiator without a formal dispensation from the Church is outside the state of grace, according to the Church’s theology on the sacraments.

1. Divorced: Catholics who are divorced, but  NOT remarried or engaged, may prepare for Confirmation provided they acknowledge if this status changes, they MUST complete a petition for nullity on the failed marriage(s) BEFORE they marry in the Church. Failure to do so places them outside the state of grace, and unable to receive the sacraments.

  2. Re-married: Catholics who divorce and re-marry without obtaining a formal decree of nullity on the prior failed marriage(s) (either their own, or their spouses) may not receive any of the Church’s sacraments unless they complete the required petition  and the Church grants the annulment. There is no guarantee that an affirmative decision will be reached with any petition for annulment.  

3. Married: Catholics seeking the sacrament of Confirmation must be married by the Church, either by a deacon or priest  BEFORE receiving the sacrament of Confirmation (or Holy Communion, and Reconciliation). If a Catholic is currently married civilly, common-law, or by another Christian minister, they must marry in the Catholic Church prior to being confirmed.

If you have any questions, please contact Fr. Rizzo at 847 885-7700 ext 106 or email him at rrizzo@sainthubert.org. Not all annulments require the same process; we will help you determine what process is necessary, and help you through it. The above information is to provide basic information on common scenarios/questions. We are here to help.
