Welcome For many seeking a “way home” to a nourishing community of faith, the marriage laws of the Catholic Church seem a confusing obstacle course. But very often, given a chance to tell their stories, those whose marriage situations presented—or appeared to present—a barrier to Church participation, have discovered that there are solutions. Welcome to OnceCatholic.org, a place to bring your questions, to voice your concerns, to tell your story. Here are resources to guide you through the issues surrounding Catholic marriage law, or to find a welcoming parish near you where you can seek face-to-face assistance. You may also wish to meet our online companions and join an ongoing, moderated discussion with those who, like you, have wrestled with the legality of Church marriages and sought to find Christ’s compassion within the structure.
