Getting My Marriage Validated In The Catholic Church

Well, my next quest in becoming a "Complete Catholic" is to have my present marriage validated.  We found out that my hubby was lied to by his own mother......she told him he was baptised in the Presbyterian church.....yeah not so much.  I was dreading telling Sr. Annette this little piece of news!!!!!!  To my surprise she said we could work with that!  OK....so what is next?  I tried to make an appointment with Fr. Mark but he said that Sr. Annette is not ready she has pieces of the puzzle that she needs before we can move forward on that front.  I can tell them now if they think that my hubby is going to convert to Catholicism they are wasting their time he has already been put off  by the church because of the hoops I had to jump through with  my annulment.  He just doesn't understand why things have to be so complicated, well, that is MY religion, and it is complicated, I wouldn't change a thing except for the amount of time it takes to get things done.....it's worse than the our government!!!!

Once we get the marriage validated then I can move on the getting confirmed.  That is the biggest thing I wanted to get done.  Hence the name of my blog.....I feel INCOMPLETE without being confirmed. I know, all good things come to those who wait.  I'm just one that doesn't like to WAIT!  I want to get it going, get it done and move on to the next thing, can you blame me?

As I've stated before I can't do anything in the Catholic Church until I'm confirmed!!!!!   My goal is to take classes so that I can distribute communion, something I know my Mom would have been front and center doing!   I think she would be proud of me for all that I am doing, she loved her religion so much!  I can relate!  There is NOTHING BETTER than being Catholic!
