“Every E ery Wedding Is a Royal Wedding” rchbishop Michael J. Sheehan’s recent letter, “Pastoral Care of Couples Who Are Cohabitating”, April 3, 2011 has sparked a number of inquiries about marriage and annulments. The Archbishop boldly reminded us that cohabitating (“living together”) outside of a valid marriage in the Church is a grave sin. The Archbishop courageously called those who find themselves cohabitating to take the steps necessary to rectify the sinful situation by deciding to marry in the Church, and/or to take the necessary steps to pursue an annulment if necessary. The telephones at the Tribunal and in our parishes have been ringing. Rev. Dennis M. Garcia, J.C.L. Judicial Vicar (See page 6)
