Church Listing

CHURCH ACTIVITIES

• The parish secretary requires at least the NSO Security Paper and Baptismal Certificate to verify the names such as spellings, etc.
• The secretary would then ask for each addresses to identify the Marriage Banns to prepare. Marriage Banns are sent to churches to announce the marriage, to confirm that each party has no impediment. Marriage Banns are prepared by the secretary in a letter form for the couple to submit to affected Churches i.e. Church to where baptized, Churches in previous residence. A Parish Permit is required if the woman is not to be wed in the jurisdiction of the Church under her residence. In my case a fee of 500.00 is required to claim such permit.
• Attend a PRE-CANA seminar. This activity will inform all about the marriage ups and downs. A simulation of the wedding ceremony is also practiced during the seminar.
