Everyone is entitled to copies -- free of charge -- of his or her sacramental records, including Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, and Marriage.

• If you know where the sacraments were conferred, contact the parish for copies.
• Preparing for marriage? Contact the parish that conferred the sacraments to arrange for certificates to be prepared from sacramental registers.

If you cannot recall in which parish of the Green Bay Diocese you received the sacrament, contact Diocesan Archives department to locate the record. All parish sacramental records are archived on microfilm and microfiche. If and when a sacramental record is located, Archives will send a copy to your local parish.
