Canonical interview

[tiffany24]

Payment for church ba? We paid first para ma reserve yun date. Then docs. Then interview.

Yes sis, payment for church, parang ganyan din process ng friends ko na nagpakasal na pero sa church namin they just got our names and date and we were advised they will call us for the interview, they didn't ask for our documents nor payment. they will schedule daw us muna for dulog

[hermione28]

so ano po yung pre cana sa canonical interview? Di ko talaga gets! haha.

[shygirlme]

^sis dati nalito din ako sa 2 akala ko iisa lang sila. Precana is parang family planning na din and also pinag uusapan about sa family life with jesus as a center of your relationship. Half day lang kami umattend ng precana sa San Agustin kaya konti lang masyado napag usapan karamihan pa personal life experience nung nag conduct ng seminar. Canonical interview naman ininterview kami ni Father magkahiwalay. Pano nag start relation ship namin ayan muna tinanong tapos nung sabay na kami kinausap mga advices about family life ganyan.

[maukris]

^^precana - seminar given to the couple, along with other couples. In our case sa san augstin chuch kami. Seminar about marriage, how to make you marriage work, yung mga dapat sundin according to catholic faith.

Canonical - interview sya ng priest sa parish san kayo kakasal. May form/questionnaire that you have to answer then priest will interview you separately, tapos magkasama. If the parish priest din will celebrate your wedding rites, normally may interview din about sanyo as a couple.

OK change CHURCH na kami.

We chose the church kasi it's the church closest to our venue na madalas namin puntahan ni H2B.
Our wedding is on January, we went there July sabi sa amin get a marriage license daw muna.
So there kumuha kami,
after 2 months bumalik kami with our complete requirements and payment
tapos the lady I spoke with wrote down my name, phone number, date of wedding and sabi schedule daw kami ng dulog at TATAWAGAN na lang daw nila kami to let us know about our schedule.
Syempre I was worried because they did not even asked for our payment nor our requirements.
After two weeks, hindi pa din kami nakaka receive ng call or kahit text man lang sa kanila so we went there.

Sabi ko follow up lang kami kasi baka nagloloko yung cellphone ko at na-miss ko if they did contact us, the lady we originally spoke with was there but someone else approached us tapos she asked us taga saan ako, sabi ko from Bulacan tapos ang sabi niya hindi daw kami pwede dun, pumunta daw kami on our Parochial Church like "what?" eh bakit kami pinakuha ng requirements, bakit kami sinabihan they will schedule us for dulog? Bakit hindi niyo po kami ni contact for the last two weeks to tell us at least that we can't marry sa church na yun. hay Gusto kong mang away talaga nun kasi I was worried na wala na kami makukuha kasi 3months na lang kasal namin pero pinigilan ako ni H2B at siya nakipag usap.

So anyway, to cut the story short, after that incident we went sa isang church na medyo malayo sa venue namin which we also like tapos ayun in 30 minutes time naka fully paid na kami, may schedule na kami ng interview, pre cana pati kumpisal at sinagot ni ate lahat ng tanong ko mula sa music, sa door, sa bridesmaids, flower girls.

Naiiyak ako sa tuwa kasi ang galing ng pag assist nila sa amin samantalang sa isang church 5 times kami bumalik at never nila sinabi na hindi kami dun pwede makasal kasi priority nila yung sakop ng parokya nila. Oh my. Wala ako problema sa church, any church will do pero sana kasi yung tao sa office maayos kausap.

Sorry sa mahabang rant mga sis. I just want to share this.

[Missus O]

^oh dear. The troubles that you went through, and then humdi naman pala pwedi. But at least now, you have your church already. Do you mind sharing yung church na nagpahirap sa inyo?

[stylus]

^^ sis tiffany!! so sorry to hear that. but honestly.. parang kinabahan naman ako.  medyo may problem pa kasi kami sa church requirements dahil wrong spelling yung first name ni h2b sa baptismal nya at kung [textspeak!] ano pa kailangan ng church nila sa province para lang baguhin!

paano invitations mo sis kung nagpalit kayo ng church?

[tiffany24]

Thanks mga sis,

Sis Missus O, I don't feel like telling their name eh kahit ganun yung experience pero let's just say church siya sa Valenzuela City. yung church namin ngayo ay sa Divine Shrine of Fatima na at ok na ok naman sila kausap.

Sis stylus this is the reason why hindi kami maka move on sa iba namin na supplier kasi hind namin ma finalize yung church, 6 months prep lang kasi kami so wala pa kami nabobook na invitation supplier, target is end of the month para madistribute na invitation on December.

I remember nakalagay sa ilalim ng list of requirements na binigay sa akin "Mangyari lamang po na isulat ang pangalan ng inyong kausap para maiwasan ang magkalituhan". Alam naman pala nilang hindi calibrated ang information nila eh. Sana talaga mag improve na yung service nila, I heard feedback na din from some friends na magulo nga daw kausap dun pero OK na kami, si God na nagdecide kung saan kami dapat magpakasal  2 weeks to go before our canonical interview

[stylus]

^yes sis! take it positively! good thing na rin na wala pa kayong invitation dahil kung hindi, gastos na naman.. ang importante sis, available pa ang new church sa wedding date nyo. so less hassle with other suppliers kasi ceremony venue lang ang nagbago. imagine kung pati date di ba? tapos booked na sa iba mga suppliers. scary!

[tiffany24]

True sis stylus, nakahinga ako ng maluwang when I found out our date was still available pati yung time namin. Hindi kasi bilog yung araw namin kaya hindi mabenta masyado which is a good thing   

[pinaydiaspora]

Thank God ok na church nyo sis tiffany24 Bigla tuloy ako napaisip about our requirements etc sana hindi magkaroon ng issues. *fingers crossed* We only have 1 monthe before the wedding pa man din para asikasuhin lahat, buti na lang we can do our Precana here at least may na tick off na sa list kahit isa. Inhale exhale

I feel you sis. Same thing happened to us when we wanted talaga sa isang church kasi comvinient sa guest, and medyo related kay hubby.
But i got dissappointed sa parsih officd, take note laguna pa church, taga makati ako, and si hubby overseas.

To cut the story short, napunta kami sa Don Bosco Sta.Rosa and naka schedule na agad kami, nakapg submit na din ng docs agad na available. Wala din needed na downpayment, kasi half agad sabi ko if pwede sa next visit ko na lang, kasi wala akong avaiable cash nung time na yun.

 Blessing lahat yan sis.

[simang]

Had our canonical interview last Friday. It was about 20 minutes lang, and magkasabay kami tinanong ni Father the whole time (although it was written in the form na may individual interview dapat and then magkasama). Anyway, usual questions lang naman ang mga tinanong. Nakakatawa kasi kinakabahan si fiance, since wala kami idea both kung anong tatanungin. So habang nag-aantay kami ng turn namin (there were 12 couples na nakaschedule that day, pang 7 kami, so we waited for mga 3 hrs almost), nag-isip sya ng mga possible questions. Lahat ng mga naisip nyang possible tanungin, tinanong sa amin, haha. Like ilan na ang naging partners namin before each other, gano na kami katagal, san nagkakilala, mga ganun. Yung question kung pang ilang girlfriend nya ko, buti na lang binilang na nya beforehand, kasi nahirapan sya magbilang hahaha.

Medyo awkward pa kasi kakilala pala ni father yung ex ko na matagal -_- hahaha

[tiffany24]

Thanks sis pinaydiaspora mukhang madali lang din naman ang requirement kasi sa amin tinangap lang agad. The good side is nung nakakuha kami ng church complete na requirements namin hehe   

Yes sis maukris, part of God's plan for sure.  Pero sana maayos ang process ng mga parish office sa lahat.

Thanks sa information sis simang, matagal din pala ang interview ah, kailangan ng paghandaan 

[tiffany24]

done with the canonical interview, they asked us to fill up a form then wala ng tinanong si father kasi daw nasa tamag edad na kami pareho ni Hubby to be at ok naman mga sagot namin sa questionnaire. Mas madami daw siya tanong pag bata pa yung nagpapakasal 

[rowan]

hi girls, masyado ba maaga if our canonical and precana will be done a year before the church wedding? my fiance is based overseas kasi and he will be here in manila 1 year before our wedding for our civil wedding then baka ang next balik niya is a few weeks na lang before our church wedding. ok lang kaya yun? may validity period din ba ang canonical interview and precana?

[stylus]

^inquire nyo muna sis sa church nyo. some churches kasi nagsschedule lang ang canonical interview at pre cana seminar somes completed and submitted na all church requirements. in that case syempre, kasama birth and baptismal certificates which has 6 months validity lang

[Tubby]

so ano po yung pre cana sa canonical interview? Di ko talaga gets! haha.

Sis - just in case di pa nasasagot.

Canonical Interview is an interview by the priest which is not necessarily by your wedding officiating priest. The priests are required to this to ensure that the couple is not violating any Canon Law of the Church. Eg. are marriage between relatives, cousins, etc. They also check on the couples' views on certain situation that may be used in the future if there will be complaints on annulments in the future. We were asked to answer forms separately that asked questions like: Are you still willing to marry your partner if you found our he is gay or had another child or was married before, etc. Our priest is really good because he explained these all to us.

Pre-Cana is a series of seminar conducted by the parish to prepare you for married and family life. It's called Pre-CANA in honor of the New Testament's "Wedding at Cana". Pre-Cana are conducted by lay volunteers authorized by the parish. They are usually from the Family Life organization in the church. You will be taught on how to be good Catholics who will protect the sanctity of marriage and the family. Discovery Weekend (DW) can be an alternate for Pre-Canas.

I honestly liked both seminars. Useful talaga sya in prepartion for married life. It used to be just a "requirement" for me but I gained a lot of insights through the two interviews.

Hi Sis ask ko lang kung sino lately lang nakapag Canonical Interview na sa inyo sa Sta. Clara De Montefalco Parish? Ano po ba mga tinatanong don? Actually nakapag pareserve na kami by Oct. 2017 pero 3mos before the Wedding date tska palang daw [textspeak!] Pre-Cana then 3weeks before the Wedding naman [textspeak!] Canonical Interview. Worried lang ako kung may bumabagsak ba sa Canonical Interview eh pano kung nakapag prepare na kami sa lahat tapos 3weeks before palang namin malalaman [textspeak!] result sa Canonical Interview sobrang Gahol lang sa oras eh? Sa mga nabasa ko kasi need daw maipasa [textspeak!] Canonical Interview. Thank you sa mga sasagot 

[pinkypie]

Hello sissies.. Magpapareserve na sana kami ni h2b sa don bosco makati last feb 4, kaya lang nung tinanong kami kung parehas Catholic ayun na. Mixed marriage sana ang gusto namin kasi we respect each other's beliefs at sa tingin namin, di naman kelangan magpaconvert para lang magpakasal. So pinapabalik kami this feb 24 para kausapin si father kung papayagan niya kami dun sa church. Di ko alam kung after ba nun, e may canonical interview pa or yun na yun? Kasi next year pa ang wedding namin. Kinakabahan kasi ako, dun talaga namin gusto magpakasal. Thank you sa mga magrereply.
