Question
Next year my husband and I will celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. Can we renew our vows? How do Catholics do such a thing? We were married in a Catholic church, by our family priest and had a full Catholic Mass (as explained below, my husband did not receive Holy Communion). My husband and I are practicing Catholics (I was born and raised Catholic) and he went through RCIA 4 years ago and became Catholic (raised "nothing") through Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation. Our children attend Catholic school and our faith is an important part of our lives. Thanks for your time.
RCIA is associated with the New Order, which traditional Catholics do not recognize as being truly Catholic. If you want to contact a priest of the traditional Catholic Faith concerning your anniversary, there is a geographical listing at www.traditio.com/nat.htm.
