hi all,
just a quick question about letters of freedom. i understand that i have to get one from my home parish but members of my family reckon i have to get one from each town i have lived in .

any thoughts on this?

thanks for your help,
fp

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

what happens if you've lived abroad? I've just done a quick tot up in my head and in the last 10 years I've lived in 10 different parish's and 4 different countries!

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.
