I was married 15 years ago in an Episcopalian church. At that time I was a praciticing Episcopalian, but converted 6 years ago to the Catholic faith. My wife was raised as a Catholic but was not practicing the Catholic faith at the time of our marriage. Can anyone tell me if church doctrine allows me and/or my wife to receive communion given these circumstances? Thank you.
 
Yes, you can, though I think you have to have your marriage convalidated , and live as brother and sister until then. Talk to a Catholic priest about the exact details and procedure that must be followed for this. As well, go to Confession, so that you aren’t receiving Communion in a state of mortal sin. Have you received your First Communion?

Your wife needs to go to Confession… if she hadn’t been going to Mass…Your marraige can get blessed which is fine…The Catholic Church recognizes marraiges in other denominations… so it shouldn’t be a problem…After confession… you both should be eligable!
