The ‘Advertisings Standards Authority’ of Ireland has investigated a number of Catholic Church websites for misleading consumers about the official status of Online Pre-marriage Courses.

They have concluded that online pre-marriage courses are fully acceptable in every parish in Ireland, once permission has been given by the priest who is marrying the couple.
 

No other priest has the right to tell you what type of course you can do; no parish secretary either has the authority to tell you what type of pre-marriage course you can do.

Every parish secretary in Ireland will tell you that you have to do an Accord ‘approved’ pre-marriage course. This is simply not true. Other Church owned websites that say that online pre-marriage courses are not accepted there; this is also incorrect and these websites are being asked to remove their misleading online advertisements.

Vatican guidelines also state that Bishops have no influence over the type of course couples take. If you would like to do this online marriage course, simply ask your priest for permission to do so.

“We took this pre marriage course last month and it was our priest who recommended it to us. We listened to two priests giving their thoughts on marriage which we thought was really interesting. There were other inputs from a fertility expert and a financial consultant that we thought were really practical and down to earth. We had great fun with the different quizzes we had to do in the workbooks. The course was easy to do, and definitely brought us closer together. Can’t recommend enough” – Jean and Shane, Cork.
