That depends entirely on who the pastoral associate is. The Vatican has come out and said that the phrase "pastoral associate" should only be applied to ordained clergy, which would include bishops, priests, and deacons. In the case of deacons, a man to be ordained to the permanent diaconate may be married, so in that case, yes. However, often the phrase "pastoral associate" is used to apply to all kinds of people other than clergy. In our parish there is a sister employed as a "pastoral associate", so, of course, in her case she would not be married, as she is in perpetual vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. The answer to your question is that it all depends on how your parish defines pastoral associate!

Can a pastoral vicar get married?
In the Roman Catholic Church, pastoral vicars are typically ordained priests and are therefore required to remain celibate and unmarried. However, in some other Christian denominations, pastoral vicars may be allowed to marry. It ultimately depends on the specific rules and regulations of the particular religious institution.
