Ever wondered how to request one of those beautiful certificates offering a blessing from Pope Francis? Andi walks you through the simple process of requesting a blessing through the Vatican’s website. It’s a great gift to commemorate your wedding, anniversary, and other sacraments!

Notes:

  • Parchments make a wonderful gift for any sacrament, milestone birthdays, ordinations, and anniversaries.

  • For most occasions you will need to provide the parish the event took place at, and for some occasions you will also need to make a “declaration or eligibility” letting them know that the recipient is in good standing with the church and not a public figure.

  • Order several weeks in advance, it often takes 4-6 weeks to receive your parchment.

  • Prices begin at €16 (about $18.50) plus shipping of €18 (about $21) to the US and Canada. You must pay by credit card via the website.
