As a minister, how can I beome a Catholic priest?

[BP788]

I’m a minister at a non-denominational church in Florida. I have been married for 16 years, and my wife wants to become catholic. We’ve don’t know much about this particular subject, but my understanding is that a married man cannot become a priest. Although, I have gone through seminary and received ordination. Is it possible for my wife and I to become catholic? And second, can I receive a catholic ordination? What do I need to do?

Thank you for your help.

Dear Billy,

It may be possible, but it is not automatic nor immediate. First become a Catholic. I suggest that you contact the Comming Home Network. It exists precisely for people like yourself. For information, log on to:

You are in our prayers.
