So a good friend of mine was told to gather their baptismal records and other church records, since they currently live in a different country now.
They are having difficulty trying to get the records, as the only living relative is an aunt who cannot remember her niece's Baptism as it was such a long time ago.
The only proof they have is a photo of the Baptism and the one baptizing is not in any priestly garb (even though it was pre Vatican II), but rather in a long-sleeved collared shirt & dress slacks.
And the setting was in a hospital managed by the Episcopal church.
Are they to assume valid baptism?
Should they continue to receive communion until certain? Or not?
What about the marriage? Is it considered valid?
Also, they are having difficulty finding confirmation records.
Parents were mixed Catholic & Protestant, children were raised as non-practicing Catholics, they all went to Catholic School because it was around the corner from their home.
Serious advice needed, along with prayers, please.
