Request a Letter of Good Standing
Dear Deacons,
If you are visiting another diocese to baptize an infant, witness a marriage, preside at a wedding, or just on a vacation some place where you would like to assist at a Mass or otherwise exercise your diaconal functions, you will need a Certificate of Good Standing from the Office of the Diaconate.
The Certificate of Good Standing will be mailed and e-mailed to you and to the pastor and diocese where you are visiting. Please give us at least FOUR WEEKS notice. We are required to provide some detailed information to the diocese you are visiting.
