Already Married Civilly?

If you are already married outside the Catholic Church and would like your marriage recognized (blessed) in the Church, this is called a convalidation

During a convalidation, you exchange your consent within the Catholic Church, and your marriage becomes a valid sacramental marriage in the eyes of the Church.
