A Celebration of Convalidation

February 14, 2026 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Free

A Celebration of Convalidation is an opportunity for couples married outside of the Catholic Church to enter a marriage covenant in the Catholic tradition, be strengthened by God’s grace, and be supported by His Church. A husband, wife, and God are like a three-ply chord – “… not easily broken” (Eccl 4:12).

If you and your spouse desire holy matrimony in the Catholic Church, you are invited to convalidate your marriage through your parish at a date of your choosing or join Bishop Mark O’Connell and Bishop Cristiano Barbosa together with other couples at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross on Saturday, February 14th as part of World Marriage Week. 

Before you register, download this document for important information regarding the preparation for convalidation. This PDF is also available in Haitian-Creole.

Families and friends are invited to attend. The ceremony will include the Liturgy of the Word and the Celebration of Matrimony. All are welcome to attend the regularly scheduled 4:30 PM Mass prior to the ceremony.
