The Concordat of 1954 is a concordat of the Catholic Church, signed on 16 June 1954 by the Dominican Republic (then governed by the Third Republic, under the rule of Rafael Trujillo) with the Vatican (during the pontificate of Pope Pius XII). Status of the Church The Dominican Republic offers freedom of religion to its citizens, but the Catholic Church in the country still enjoys certain rights, and is the state religion, due to the concordat. Public funds for Church needs Use of public funds for Church needs and low customs duties on Church goods are two favors given to the Catholic Church by the government. Catholic marriage ceremonies Catholic marriage ceremonies are the only religious marriage ceremonies that are recognized by the state, but marriages can also be performed by government officials. Certain Protestant churches have also asked for official recognition under this agreement.
