Does anyone know what sacraments you are required to have before you get married in a catholic church?

Question

I am catholic and have been baptised, received communion, done confession and been confirmed. My fiance' has never been baptised or had any other sacraments. Does anyone know what sacraments he needs so we can get married in a catholic church?

Answer 1

Your fiance has never been baptized, so he is not a Christian. You can marry a non-Christian if you get a special dispensation from the bishop.

Or, if he is interested in becoming a Catholic, he can go through the RCIA process and become a Catholic. He would then be baptized, receive communion, and be confirmed all at the Easter Vigil.

Talk to your priest about this and decide which route you want to take.

Answer 2

He must receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Communion. In order to perform these sacraments, he must be study Catholic catechism first by a catechist in his local parish. If he wanted to be a Catholic soon, he must go to his nearest parish and talk to his parish priest for these idea...May our Good Shepherd, Jesus may help him in becoming a member of his flock....God Bless and may this idea may help him for finding the truth!

Answer 3

I believe that he will need to at least have been baptized, communionized, confessionized and confirmed. The good news is that they can handle the first three in the same day. The last one needs a bishop and has to be scheduled. I also believe that they will want pre-cana courses for the both of you. Hope that helps.

Answer 4

It is not necessary that he receive any sacraments; and if he is not Catholic or Orthodox it is not possible that he would receive any sacraments other than baptism. Obviously if he were Jewish or Muslim, for example, he would not have received any Christian sacraments.
