TO: ALL THE PARISH PRIESTS IN THE ARCHDIOCESE OF MANILA
RE: ALL THE WEDDINGS IN THE ARCHDIOCESE OF MANILA
Dear Monsignori/Father:
Greetings of Peace!
In compliance with the stipulation if the law as contemplated by the New Code of Canon Law, it is my duty as the Archbishop of Manila to defend the unity of the universal church, to foster the discipline which is common to the whole Church, and to oppress the observance of all ecclesiastical laws.
I have to ensure that abuses do not creep into the ecclesiastical discipline, especially concerning the celebration of the sacrament of marriage.
In this connection, I wish to enforce the directive promulgated by my predecessor, His Eminence Jaime L. Cardinal Sin, DD that all Catholic marriages with in the Archdiocese of Manila should hold only within the parish churches, except for those in “articulo mortis” cases.
To keep orderly records, all clearances, permissions and dispensations regarding marriages must be processed and released by the Chancery office.
All previous practices and privileges granted to specific chapels are now hereby revoked.
I hope that this prescription will be observed by all those concerned.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
+GAUDENCIO B. ROSALES, D.D.
Archbishop of Manila
