Catholic Ceremony
If you were baptized in a Catholic church and therefore
you are an observant Catholic, and have the desire
to Get Married
or Renew your Vouws in a Catholic Church in Venice, first
of all you have to turn to your parish priest, in
order to inform him that you wish to get married in
a Catholic Church in Venice. After this, you must
begin gathering and arranging the documents, that
are required for the celebration of a religious wedding
with the help of your parish priest. Once all the
papers have been gathered, your priest must submit
the whole dossier to the Curia (the most important
religious organization of the Catholic Church) of
your city of residence to let it approve.
If you haven’t got married with a civil wedding
yet, you should do in your country of residence, because
one of the required documents, in order to celebrate
a Religious Wedding, will be the Civil Wedding certificate.
Otherwise you can also take into consideration the
chance of celebrating two ceremonies in only one day
in Venice: At first the Civil
Wedding at Palazzo Cavalli and then the
Religious Ceremony in a Venetian Catholic Church.
If you wish to invite your priest in Venice, he himself
can celebrate your wedding in a Venetian Catholic
Church.
