Most dioceses, parishes, and shrines require that a priest or deacon have a letter of good standing sent in advance of their arrival, if they plan to assist at the sacraments there. Some dioceses also restrict priestly faculties – they must be requested (apart from emergencies). Therefore, it is always a good idea to request a letter of good standing before a trip.

Please do not wait until the last minute. We understand that sometimes urgent situations arise, such as funerals.
