So I've posted in the past about what little help our Officiant has been. Here's another issue, we just found out that he's no longer our Officiant as he's been moved to a different parish. As well, he's leaving the country for all of July and won't be serving the Parish come August. He promised to get our marriage papers in before then. He also just informed us 3 months before the wedding that we need a recent baptismal certificate for my FI. We gave him the original copy 10 months ago and he made a photocopy and said that was fine. We now learned a new copy must be issued 6 months prior to the wedding. So I would have really appreciated knowing this atleast 3 months ago so I could prepare! My FI was baptised in the Philippines in a rather rural area 27 years ago! For the past 4 days we've been stalking the Parish and the Diocese by phone and email just trying to get through to someone! No one has returned our emails. The phone at the Parish reponds with "this number has been blocked administratively", and we're pretty sure we get through to the Diocese but no voicemail or anything it just beeps and beeps.
I'm frustrated. As well, there's a mail strike in my city so no ground mail in or out. The Father from our Parish here said the church would accept a fax copy but I'm not sure I even trust this considering everything he's told me has been incorrect!
So I'm asking for help to locate a new baptism certificate internationally. How do I go about doing this?
