Is it OFFICIALLY possible to belong to more than one diocese / archdiocese ?
The reason why I ask is because there is a parish in the Newark (NJ) Archdiocese that my family has a long history with. My daughter was baptized there; my wife and I were married there; I was baptized there; my parents were married there; etc.
Due to work & other economic reasons, we were forced to move over two hours (one way via car) away. We joined a local parish in the Allentown ¶ Diocese.
We are on the books as members in both parishes. We go to church at both parishes (once a month to the Newark one for Sunday mass and the other Sunday masses of the month at the Allentown one). Holy day masses are alternated between the two churches and active stewardship is given to both parishes.
Are we / can we be OFFICIALLY members of both parishes?
