    It depends on the priest who is marrying you. My wife was told every parish she lived in but the first parish she went to thought it was a stupid idea and wrote a stinky letter back to the main priest to tell him to cop on. In the end all she needed was her home parish.

    I had to get one from every Parish.

    Its easy enough simply look up the Parishs one the net you lived in for over 6 months and send them a polite email stating your name age etc.

    You should have them all in a month.

    Best of luck

    We just met the Priest over the weekend to kick off the organisations!
    He said just get one from the parish I am in at the moment, and he'll do the rest (He is in my Parent's parish).
    I suppose it depends on the Priest, but I would question getting one from EVERY parish.

    You can also get a letter from a Commissioner for Oaths.
