Can Catholics who are separated or divorced receive the sacraments?
Catholics who are separated or divorced and who have not remarried outside the Church are in good standing with the Church and can receive all of the sacraments, including the Eucharist. We encourage all in this situation to serve in all aspects of Parish life, including liturgical ministries. Catholics in this situation are not excommunicated!

If you have any questions about whether you are allowed to received the sacraments, please contact us, call our office, or ask a priest at any time.
