Hi, was inquiring about a question my 19yo grandson asked me?.Is it necessary to be confirmed before getting married? Right now, he’s experiencing his first year of collage. need I say more!! thanks for listening.

Advent in two minutes was good. I found it a little hard to keep up with the reads, before the page changes. nice job though!!

Nicholas – It depends… Only if he is looking to get married in the Catholic Church. Gotta be Catholic to be married as one ;) I highly suggest you help him find a local Catholic Campus Ministry where he goes to college. Also, helping him to learn how to ask a priest these questions will be crucial for his development as a Catholic. Best of luck! :)

Also LOVED this Advent in 2 minutes! Very engaging!

Love it! Thanks so much!

Actually. You do not have to be Catholic to marry a non-Catholic. That being said, if one is looking to be confirmed because they were not confirmed as a child, one can attend RCIA and do it that way – it takes a year to attend the classes and really is a wonderful introduction into the faith as an adult. I made my first communion in the Catholic church, but was never confirmed. I became confirmed as a young adult and it the most profound experience of my life!

Think twice before marrying a non-Catholic. It is difficult to be unevenly yolked. It confuses the kids and sends them off to other religions.

Mary -- December 2nd, 2011 at 11:18 am

Loved this. How can we show this to our RCIA candidates?

Andie -- December 3rd, 2011 at 12:27 am

unevenly yolked refers to believing in God/Jesus/Holy Spirit or not believing and Catholic is not in the Bible. Neither is Lutheran Protestant etc

I love this video! Very great message and so neatly packaged. I am wondering how this video was created – was it a certain program? Would love to do something similar.
