If you and your spouse were married in a civil ceremony outside of the Catholic Church or a non-Catholic religious ceremony without a Catholic dispensation, we would like to invite you to a special three-day Marriage Convalidation program here at St. John, Oct. 7, 28 & Nov. 4. Our amazing mentor couples and St. John the Evangelist clergy and staff will guide you on your journey to sacramental marriage to bring you, your spouse, and your family into a closer relationship with God and be filled with the graces of the Holy Spirit to faithfully face the joys and challenges of married life.
