Hi, Mike —
Please pass this on to George.
My answer would be that he should:
- wait, or
- get married in the
Catholic Church in a simple ceremony
and then have a party when he comes
back.
If he goes ahead and gets civilly
married before deployment, it will
mean that he will not be able to
receive Holy Communion while he is
deployed.
That would be a difficult thing to
bear if his faith is important to
him.
Fr. Jonathan
