Declaración de eligibilidad para padrino/madrinaThe following guidelines on marriage policy within the Archdiocese of Santa Fe are a revision of norms issued Spring of 1987.
The revised guidelines reflect the general requirements of the Catholic Church's 1983 Code of Canon Law and adopted policy and directives of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe with respect to marriage over the last eight years.
The policy set forth within seeks the best possible pastoral care for the bride and groom as well as the needs of the Catholic Community. Good, sound marriages do not happen; they are created and sustained by the partnership of husband, wife, and God. The policy of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe for marriage seeks careful and sound preparation of couples for entering marital life. (For complete information on policy, click here.)
