Marriage cases SHOULD BE RESOLVED BEFORE catechumens or candidates celebrate the Rite of Election and Call to Continuing Conversion. You may make an exception to this if the catechumen or candidate has not remarried, has a clear understanding of the church’s discipline regarding divorce and remarriage, and agrees to follow the discipline of the church no matter how their marriage case is resolved.

Note regarding Catholics formerly uncatechized

Pastors must receive permission from Bishop McKnight to confirm adult Catholics baptized as infants but formerly uncatechized. Please submit this request in writing to Bishop McKnight as soon as possible.
