How do I get a copy of my baptismal/confirmation/marriage certificate.
Most sacramental records are kept at the parish level. Please use the Parish directory for contact information. If the parish you were baptized/confirmed/married in was closed during the recent reconfiguration process, see our list of where the records are now kept here: http://www.rcab.org/bin/f.wk?rcab.info.suppressed.list
How do I get a copy of my high school transcript.
Contact the Archdiocesan School office. Contact information may be found on their website: http://www.abcso.org.
I am interested in being confirmed or being baptized into the Catholic Church.
The Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA) is administered at the parish level. Please contact your local parish for the details of how they do it. The process may vary considerably based on the specifics of your situation and that of the parish.
How do I arrange for a Mass to be said for someone who has died or is sick.
This is done through your local parish or a particular shrine. Call the parish office to get the details on how to arrange for a Mass to be celebrated for your intention.
Is there a schedule of Marriage Preparation (Pre-cana) programs available.
The Archdiocesan wide schedule can be found on the website of the Office for Family Life. http://www.familylifeboston.com/html/marriageprep.html
How do I go about getting an annulment.
We strongly recommend that you contact your local parish staff for help through the process. See the introductory article on declaration of nullity. http://www.rcab.org/Information/Annulment/marriage.html. The contact information for the Metropolitan Tribunal may be found on http://www.rcab.org/Information/metropolitanTribunal.html. They do not use email.
What is the church closest to?
The best source for finding the church closest to the hotel you staying at or the people's house you visiting is MassTimes.org. |
