8/27/26 – Fr. Francisco Nahoe, OFM Conv. - Why Can't Catholic Weddings be Held Outside?

Fr. Francisco Nahoe, OFM Conv., has served the Church and the Franciscan Order in Catholic education, campus ministry, parochial ministry, and catechesis. He is a chaplain at Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, California, and focuses his scholarly efforts on Renaissance rhetoric and Polynesian ethnohistory. In Today's Show: Why can't Catholic weddings be held outside of a church when regular Masses can be said outside on special occasions? A few relatives of mine never had a funeral Mass. Should I have an individual Mass said, or is a group Mass for all of them okay? Can you explain the Filioque for us? While we know that Mary was sinless, were St. Joseph and St. John the Baptist also sinless? And more.
