no as has been said several times the permission is necessary but probably done by the priest without your knowledge, as a part of the marriage administrative work routine. there is absolutely no reason for anybody to panic about this.Are you folks telling me I may need a second convalidation if we happen to live outside the territorial boundries of the parish where we were married?
no it is not canon law that you register for a parish, but it is a reality at least in this country that in the average size parish no one will know who you are if you do not register, make at least sporadic contributions, and participate in some way. Registration is not done in most other countries because everybody knows they belong in the parish where they reside. possibly the mobility of Americans has something to do with this as well. what is canon law is that you belong (according to the rite in which you were baptized) to your territorial parish. if a pastor, secretary, DRE or anyone else is refusing sacraments or funerals to Catholics who live within their boundaries they are not following the law. as observed before, that is not to say the pastor cannot require those asking for admission to the parish school, RE or other programs to support the parish, but it cannot be a test for sacraments.Well according to Canon Law every Catholic is supposed to be registered at a parish somewhere. e.
As puzzleannie said, it’s not required by canon law, but what’s more than that it’s not even a canonical category. Registration doesn’t even exist in canon law, so for canonical purposes your parish registration form is little more significant than a six-year-old’s drawing of a butterfly. It’s kind of like having a cardboard ID badge that says “certified boo-boo kisser.” I’m not saying registration doesn’t have certain benefits for parishes that use them, just that it has no canonical effects whatsoever.Well according to Canon Law every Catholic is supposed to be registered at a parish somewhere.
You may be correct, It may be diocesan or particular law that says that every Catholic in this diocese must be registered in a parish.As puzzleannie said, it’s not required by canon law, but what’s more than that it’s not even a canonical category.

quite right, each diocese has “particular law” which does not change or abrogate canon law, but applies it to the particular circumstances of pastoral care in that diocese. an example is age for the sacraments, which in the US Latin Rite is anywear between age 7 & 18, but the bishops can set the actual age within that range for their own diocese. In many dioceses the provision that one get permission from one’s territorial pastor to celebrate sacraments in another parish is virtually automatic. In other dioceses, they are much stricter about things like parish boundaries.You may be correct, It may be diocesan or particular law that says that every Catholic in this diocese must be registered in a parish.
For marriage is permission needed from the territorial pastor of the bride, the groom, or both?my pastor cannot administer them unless the pastor of your territorial parish gives permission.
