Hi, guys —

I am a Canadian living in Colombia, South America and I am married to a woman who is a Colombian National.

Prior to leaving Canada, I was going through the Baptism and Confirmation process to become Catholic. I was baptized Catholic but there is no record of it because, when I was an infant, it was an emergency.

  • Can someone please assist me by directing me to an English-speaking priest either in Bogotá or Madrid Colombia, so I can finish the process I started?

I am seeking an annulment as well for my previous marriage so I can properly marry my Colombian wife. I had reached out to a parish in Canada with no response.

I desperately need help with this.

John

Bob replied:

Dear John,

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Unfortunately we are not connected to any diocese in Canada or Colombia.

  • Do you have any friends or relatives in Canada that are from the area where you were baptized?

Perhaps you could engage them as a researcher and find the proper connections, which may be at the diocese as opposed to the parish.

  • Would your parents know the name of the priest who baptized you?

I'm sorry but we are only lay apologists and do not handle these kind of matters with hands-on support; we simply answer questions regarding the faith.

I wish we could do more to help.

God bless you.

Peace,

Bob Kirby

Hi John,

I just wanted to add a bit to what Bob has said.

You said:

Although they may not be helpful to the questions you have asked, you may find these related postings helpful, if not, insightful:

I hope this helps,
