Church EMERGENCY HELP!!!!

I can't believe it but the church we had booked renovated and it looks terrible! I was there today and left cring. I won't even get into what they did bc if anyone else is using them and likes it I don't want to offend.

Anyway it was a Lutheran Church as I am Lutheran. FH is Catholic so we are in search of another church near JT (basically within a 15 minute drive or so)

So here is my MOST important question!! Can I a confirmed Lutheran get married in a Catholic church without having to convert. I would be more than happy to get married in one as long as I don't have to give up my religion.

Anyone with info please help!!

Yup I was baptized made my communion and confirmation. All in a Lutheran church though. They are VERY similar to Catholic I should add if anyone didn't know.

Yes! You can get married in a Catholic church, I am Catholic and FH is confirmed Episcopalian and we are allowed, as long as you are baptized and confirmed. That was the rule for my church at least.

FH isn't catholic and we have no problem

I am getting married at St. Boniface

That is what FH is - he was batized and made his communion he wasn't confirmed - it really depends on the church but all mine is asking for is his batisimal cert.

OMG Shauna.......I'm SO sorry!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok...first, YES you can get married in a Catholic church. Mike is Episcopal and we're getting married in a Catholic church. As long as you have proof your and Matt's baptisms and confirmations you're fine.

Now......as for Catholic churches in the general close to JT:

St. Bonafice - Elmont
St. Catherine's - Franklin Square
Blessed Sacrament - Valley Stream
Our Lady of Peace - Lynbrook
St. Raymond's - East Rockaway
St. Agnes - Rockville Centre
St. Christopher's - Baldwin

and of course, Holy Name of Mary - Valley Stream (this is where I'm getting married, pics in my album )


PS - you have FM with info on my church
