The Convalidation Seminar is offered several times a year to prepare couples who are seeking to validate a civil or otherwise irregular marriage. This would include any marriage entered into outside of the Sacrament of Matrimony in the Catholic Church by a Catholic person. Convalidation brings such marriages into conformity with Church teachings andsacramentalizes the bond.
Our goal is to help couples enrich their civil marriage or prepare to remarry in the Sacrament of Matrimony. Couples should speak to their priest before registering for the seminar to ascertain whether it is the right program for meeting their needs.
Registration is $75.00, due one week prior to the seminar date. For registrations after the due date, add $10. Payable by check or money order made out to Family Life. No refunds will be issued. Reservations are not confirmed until payment is received in full. We do not accept cash payments.
The seminar is 9:00 am – 5:30 pm (check-in time begins at 8:30 a.m.) at Pax Christi Retreat Center, located at 4601 Calallen Drive in Corpus Christi. Cost includes lunch and materials.
